RoboCare Design Workshop
@ DIS '24

Understanding, Translating, Operationalizing, and Scaling Up Design Knowledge Regarding Robotic Systems for Care Assistance

Robots and other autonomous agents are well-positioned in the research discourse to support caring for people with challenges such as physical and/or cognitive disabilities. However, a key challenge is understanding how to involve various factors, stakeholders, contexts, and generalizable guidelines for other designers. This one-day workshop aims to facilitate a conversation among designers, roboticists, and human-computer interaction experts to address this. This workshop aims to identify best practices for generating and applying design knowledge in developing robotic systems tailored for care settings.
