Embodied design ideation practices work with relationships between body, material and
context to enliven design and research potential. Methods are often idiosyncratic and due to …

Employing anthropomorphism in physical appearance and behavior is the most widespread
strategy for designing social robots. In the present paper, we argue that imitating humans …

Time is considered a defining factor for interaction design (Kolko, 2011; Löwgren, 2002;
Malouf, 2007; Mazé, 2007; Smith, 2007), yet little is known about its history in this field. The …

While self-tracking data is typically captured real-time in a lived experience, the data is often
stored in a manner detached from the context where it belongs. Research has shown that …

In the design of social robots, the focus is often on the robot itself rather than on the
intricacies of possible application scenarios. In this paper, we examine eight fictional …

Speculative design is an emerging form of critical material engagement with possible
futures. Designers working speculatively call attention to current and future sociotechnical …

The challenge of sha** human experiences with intelligent products has urged design
researchers to move from a user-centred towards a thing-centred approach. By investigating …

This Pictorial discusses the outcomes of a distributed embodied ideation workshop. In this
workshop, students of a Bachelor program on Management by Design explained their thesis …

Typically, social robots are supposed to empathize with humans, understand human
emotions, and anticipate human needs. With this chapter, the authors turn the table: What …

Philosophical approaches to engineering tend to use the technical artefact as a starting
point. From the artefact onwards, they look at its design and its importance in human life. All …
