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 …


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 …


Comparison Of Designer’S Design Thinking Modes In Digital And Traditional Sketches, Jun-Chieh Wu, Cheng-Chi Chen, Hsin-Chia Chen Jul 2012

Comparison Of Designer’S Design Thinking Modes In Digital And Traditional Sketches, Jun-Chieh Wu, Cheng-Chi Chen, Hsin-Chia Chen

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 …


Designing Time: A Laboratory For Time Based Design., Birger Sevaldson Nov 2004

Designing Time: A Laboratory For Time Based Design., Birger Sevaldson

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Designing Time is an experimental design studio at the Oslo School of Architecture, where the students are engaged in time based issues. The studio serves as a laboratory to invent, develop and test strategies and techniques relevant to time based design. Working with time helps students to develop the ability to investigate relations and systems and to understand these through time based analyses and abstraction. Working with time starts from observations of real life phenomena The observations ultimately lead to discovery of opportunities for interventions and in some cases innovation. The essay goes through several concepts and cases of time …
