Proposing A Tangible Interaction Framework For The Design Of Industrial Robot Teaching Systems: Enhancing User Efficiency In Learning Operations, Chaomin Ma, Chenqi Wang, Feng Zou Jun 2024

Proposing A Tangible Interaction Framework For The Design Of Industrial Robot Teaching Systems: Enhancing User Efficiency In Learning Operations, Chaomin Ma, Chenqi Wang, Feng Zou

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In the industrial robotics field, mastering the operation of traditional industrial robot teaching systems requires operators to undergo intricate training, hindering production efficiency. To address this challenge, we proposed an interaction design framework for industrial robot teaching systems based on tangible interaction theory. This study outlined how our proposed framework, anchored in tangible interaction paradigms, provided architectural direction for the design of these teaching systems, markedly enhancing operators' efficiency in learning operations. We utilized this framework to direct the interaction design of a welding robot teaching system and validated the framework's feasibility through experimentation. Experimental results revealed a notable enhancement …


Designing With The Challenges Of The Anthropocene, Guilherme Englert Corrêa Meyer, Carl Disalvo Jun 2024

Designing With The Challenges Of The Anthropocene, Guilherme Englert Corrêa Meyer, Carl Disalvo

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The Anthropocene is a concept that has been stimulating several initiatives among theorists and practitioners in Design. This paper explores how Design has been coping with this concept. It builds from a literature review to elaborate three challenges with themes related to the Anthropocene. They are: unsettling Modernity; noticing neglected multiplicity and creating new imaginaries. We share 12 projects related to these challenges were selected. The projects were analyzed considering how they address the theme they were attached to, and how they elaborate tactics and mechanisms to cope with the challenges. Based on such analyzes, the paper presents a matrix …


Beyond Braiding: Transcending Artifact-Centered Conceptions Of Craft In Digital Fabrication, Nathaniel Elberfeld, Lavender Tessmer, Alexandra Waller Jun 2024

Beyond Braiding: Transcending Artifact-Centered Conceptions Of Craft In Digital Fabrication, Nathaniel Elberfeld, Lavender Tessmer, Alexandra Waller

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Craft traditions have motivated recent scholarship and projects by practices and pedagogies with diverse research agendas in digital fabrication. In this work, the technical complexity of a traditional craft is explored through a conceptual lens such as automation, software development, or knowledge encapsulation. Despite the varied research landscape, many of these projects focus on the craft artifact itself and disengage from the broader ecologies in which it is traditionally creat-ed. In this paper, we establish a positioning framework for craft-based digital work and introduce new terminology to define its theoretical boundaries and to disambiguate the increasingly crowded space of “digital …


Graphic Standards In Graphic Heritage: Scope, Scale, And Unity Through Multiplicity In Islamic Design, Robert George Harland Oct 2023

Graphic Standards In Graphic Heritage: Scope, Scale, And Unity Through Multiplicity In Islamic Design, Robert George Harland

IASDR Conference Series

The concept of graphic standards is well-known across several disciplines. In design, it is most substantively understood in architecture, but its American origins present a limited aesthetic scope that favours classical architectural norms that overlook non-western architectural traditions. This paper explores their relevance concerning urban heritage and the emerging concept of graphic heritage and explores how the concept may be used to understand the value of repetition and frequency in Islamic art, architecture, and design. The research follows an exploratory hypothesis that seeks to describe and redefine some related concepts that will benefit a cross-disciplinary appreciation of cultural heritage and …


Reinventing Graphic Design Software By Bridging The Gap Between Graphical User Interfaces And Programming, Nolwenn Maudet Jun 2018

Reinventing Graphic Design Software By Bridging The Gap Between Graphical User Interfaces And Programming, Nolwenn Maudet

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Graphic Design Software Applications radically transformed the practice and the industry of graphic design. However, they barely evolved since their introduction, leading designers to question their ubiquity. In this paper, we explore this mismatch by analysing digital design tools through two lenses. We first investigate digital design tools from a “lineage” perspective: how they reproduced the pre-existing design tools and practices. We then use two familiar examples: the colour picker and the alignment and distribution commands to explore the vision of design that they promote. We reveal how these tools assume that designers already have in mind a desired outcome …


How To Visually Represent The Colour Theory Of Thermochromic Inks, Marjan Kooroshnia Nov 2015

How To Visually Represent The Colour Theory Of Thermochromic Inks, Marjan Kooroshnia

Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series

Colour theories have been established in order to allow artists and designers to understand the relationship between colours, and to determine how a chosen colour will react or interact with another. Smart colours - such as leuco dye-based thermochromic inks - have entered into the textile and fashion design world, bringing with them new challenges. This paper stresses the fact that, in order to demonstrate and describe the behaviour of these inks at different temperatures when printed on textiles, a new colour system is required. Four design experiments using thermochromic inks are described and these, along with the discussion presented, …

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The internal design thinking behavior of designers in the concept development has been an important issue of cognitive psychology. In this study, the design thinking process designers have in applying digital media and traditional paper in the early concept development stage was explored. Special focus was made on the structure and procedure of problem solving. With the verbal data obtained, the protocol analysis was employed to analyze designer’s thinking behaviors in using different media. From the study, the author had reached the following conclusions: (1) The proficiency and related knowledge designers have for the design project has a big impact …

This article discuss 3d digital dynamic systems as an interactive design tool for 3d physical form as an approach to the design process useful for the ceramic artist and related fields. The article is about an experiment based on the cooperation between the programmer and designer Marcin Ignac, and the author of this article, a ceramic artist. The experiment explores interactive 3d digital drawing, which responds visually to the movement of the hand in a virtual 3d space using a wii remote as a device. The captured movement forms the basis for a 3D physical model produced by the use …


A Search For Unpredictable Relationships, Flemming Tvede Hansen Jun 2009

A Search For Unpredictable Relationships, Flemming Tvede Hansen

Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series

This paper explores how design research that includes experimental design practice, can utilize the researcher’s background as a practitioner, and make the practice central to the research. The aim of this paper is to make a case that practical experiment in a research context is a fruitful way to produce knowledge that supports the interplay between designer, material and technique in design practice. The research reported in the paper experimentally explores how a ceramist can utilize his approach to designing in the use of 3D digital media as a design tool, and what that use of digital media can add …
