Abstract
Recent technological transformations lead to imagine a future in which men will be aided by innovative collaborative robotic solutions with advanced skills and socially acceptable behavior (social robotics). Design discipline can make a decisive contribution in terms of human-robot interaction, by investigating new and transversal approaches to the project. The hereby presented project is the result of the work developed by DAD (Architecture and Design Department) team at the University of Genoa within the PON research project called Si-robotics. This paper presents the results of the co-creation activity of a robotic system based on IDEO methodologic model. Starting from this consolidated model, through the interdisciplinary contribution of over seventeen public and private partners, new methods of participatory planning have been experimented on the theme of social robotics, an area where designers are rarely involved at this level and with these modalities. Therefore, among the results we present the definition of the concept within the project, but also the testing of a promising design method.
