Designing robot applications for everyday environments

Published: 12 October 2005 Publication History

Abstract

We report from the workshop "Designing robot applications for everyday use". This event gathered robot researchers and interaction designers from several countries in order to push robot application domains in novel directions. This article presents the methods we used for breaking out of limited views of robots, and our process for refining ideas to more realistic product opportunities. Based on the results of the workshop, we discuss current challenges of extending the design space of novel robot product ideas.
