摘要:

机器人技术和自动化有可能显著改善有辅助需求的人及其护理人员的生活质量。目前,这种技术的采用还远远没有普及。本文提出了一种新的方法来设计高度可定制的机器人概念,拥抱模块化和协同设计过程,以增加最终用户在开发生存周期的参与。我们讨论这个过程中的背景下,老年人护理用例。使用设计方法和增材制造,我们概述了关键利益相关者如何从最初的概念到最终产品在其环境中的集成。在未来的工作中,我们将应用这一过程来证明我们的方法在改善护理环境中对机器人技术的长期接受和信任方面的有效性。

英文摘要:

Robotics and automation have the potential to significantly improve quality of life for people with assistive needs and their carers. Adoption of such technologies at this point in time is far from widespread. This paper presents a novel approach to the design of highly customisable robotic concepts, embracing modularity and a co-design process to increase the involvement of end-users in the development life cycle. We discuss this process within the context of an elderly care use case. Using design methodology and additive manufacturing, we outline how key stakeholders can be involved from initial conception through to integration of the final product within their environments. In future work, we will apply this process to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for improving long-term acceptance and trust of robotic technology in care contexts.
