Socially assistive robots (SARs) are becoming more prevalent in everyday life, emphasizing the need to make them socially acceptable and aligned with users’ expectations. Robots’ appearance impacts behaviors attitudes toward them. Therefore, product designers choose visual qualities give robot a character imply its functionality personality. In this work, we sought investigate effect of cultural differences on Israeli German designers’ perceptions SARs’ roles four different contexts: service...
Relationships are crucial for human existence. People form relationships with other humans, pets, objects, and places. We argue that the nature of human-SAR (Socially assistive robot) relationship changes by context use interaction level. Therefore, must be incorporated into design requirements. Earlier studies identified design-related preference differences among users, depending on their personal characteristics role in specific contexts. To align robotic visual qualities (VQ) users'...
This paper presents the Context-based Design Toolkit (CoDeT) methodology – a practical toolkit designed to facilitate collaborative design and evaluation of Socially Assistive Robots (SARs). CoDeT elicits user other stakeholder needs, perceptions, preferences. The for creating is three-phased. first phase Contextual space in which designer generates use-case-specific toolkit. second Investigation space, refers utilising among different users stakeholders. third Space, returns team analyse...

Robots' appearance impacts behaviors attitudes towards them. Therefore, product designers choose visual qualities give robot a character imply its functionality personality. In this work, we sought investigate effect of cultural differences on Israeli German designers' perceptions preferences regarding suitable SARs four...
em’s approach in which core design knowledge is as important an understanding of human behaviour and how to elicit inspire that. To adapt this new reality the automotive industry must reframe its processes, structure culture. As researchers educators, grooming next generation future proof automobility designers, we be at forefront paradigm change. We embrace complexity a similar holistic approach, evoking cross-fertilization research education between departments, faculties partners. To...
Robots' visual qualities (VQs) impact people's perception of their characteristics and affect users' behaviors attitudes toward the robot. Recent years point a growing need for Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) in various contexts functions, interacting with users. Since SAR types have functional differences, user experience must vary by context use, functionality, characteristics, environmental conditions. Still, manufacturers often design deploy same robotic embodiment diverse contexts. We...
