Descripción
Sumario:[Introduction:] This paper presents a participatory design approach for developing assistive robots, addressing the critical gap between designing robotic applications and real-world user needs. Traditional design methodologies often fail to capture authentic requirements due to users’ limited familiarity with robotic technologies and the disconnection between design activities and actual deployment contexts.
