Towards A Design Toolkit For Exploring And Specifying Close-Proximity Human-Robot Collaboration As Leader And Follower: The Case Of Collaborative Drawing, Yi Zhao, Lian Loke, Dagmar Reinhardt

IASDR Conference Series

Close-proximity human-robot collaboration (HRC) refers to scenarios where humans and robots work together for the same aim at the same time and space without safety fence. Few design tools currently exist to assist designers to think through how to design human-robot interactions, with a focus on turn-taking, coordination, and flow of intention. We present a design toolkit for designers to explore, specify, analyse and document the unfolding interaction between human(s) and robot(s) through a model of interaction where the roles of leader and follower shape the forms of collaborative behaviour. We illustrate our design toolkit in action and demonstrate how …

Shapechips: Value Formation In Material Ecosystem Using Buffer Materials Generated From Wood Chips, Kazzmasa Tsujimura, Taijiro Ishiko, Yasuaki Kakehi

IASDR Conference Series

When discussing material circulation, there needs to be more focus on exploring ways professionals or users can create additional value by using the waste they generate. In this pictorial, we will discuss the potential of an autonomous ecosystem where waste material generators can proactively form a material circulation. Specifically, we focus on the production of a woodworker and the wood waste generated in the production process and then propose a “buffer material as a craft” developed through material tinkering by a designer we collaborated with to explore ways to reuse the wood waste. The proposed buffer materials allows the woodworker …

Designing Ourselves And Our World: A Designer-Weaver's Perspective On Services, Marcelo Ramirez Jul 2023

Designing Ourselves And Our World: A Designer-Weaver's Perspective On Services, Marcelo Ramirez

ServDes Conference Series

This paper argues that design, particularly service design, plays a significant role in shaping our world by constructing and reconstructing our understanding of it. Rather than a mere means to an end, design is a tool for controlling and producing meaning. Service design plays a crucial role in this process, as it mediates interactions between people and their everyday contexts through services. Design can be seen then as a way of generating culture. By exploring a more systemic approach, service designers can better understand how services shape people's lives and address underlying narratives and discourses that frame relationships between people …

A Study Of Product Service System For Product Family Based On Extension Design, Tao Chen, Ding-Bang Luh, Xing-Sen Li

ServDes Conference Series

This paper, from the perspective of extension design, investigates the product family architecture composed of demand domain, functional domain, technology domain, and physical domain and establishes a product service system, which is centered on the product family development platform, based on the extension innovation method. The basic-element logic language and method of extension design is employed to analyze the characteristics of product family design including generalization, parameterization, modularization, and intelligence. In this paper, the product family design platform, including four models and three resource libraries, is developed through the formalized and modeled basic-element representation, configuration of modular elements, and intelligent …


Emergent Scoring Of The Temporal Experience, An Investigation Into Service Mapping, Michael Arnold Mages, Stephen Neely Jul 2023

Emergent Scoring Of The Temporal Experience, An Investigation Into Service Mapping, Michael Arnold Mages, Stephen Neely

ServDes Conference Series

The design of services relies heavily on different mapping approaches to develop an overview of service architecture. Scholars largely agree that a key goal of service mapping should be the structuring of experience over time, yet the three most prevalent approaches to mapping service — customer journey maps, service blueprints, and system diagrams — fail to represent important aspects of the temporal experience. Current tools continue to center physical touchpoint attentions and struggle to depict more complex narratives of improvisatory customer/provider interactions. Notating the lived journey of temporally unfolding experience is not a simple task. Accomplishing this will require a …


Life Events As An Approach For Service Ecosystem Design: Lessons Learned From The Finnish Public Services, Núria Solsona Caba, Taija Turunen Jul 2023

Life Events As An Approach For Service Ecosystem Design: Lessons Learned From The Finnish Public Services, Núria Solsona Caba, Taija Turunen

ServDes Conference Series

Life event services have emerged worldwide as an approach for designing public services by addressing significant transitions in life and building an ecosystem around them. We study this approach as an opportunity to engage the ecosystem in a novel manner. Empirically, we investigated three digital public service cases in Finland that leverage the life events approach. Life transitions make gaps between systems visible to the large and complex network of value-creators. Life events is a unifying term for public administrations, cross-sector organisations, and communities involved as providers. Whilst this approach uncovers an underserved set of actors and situational motivations, it …

Trust In The System And Human Autonomy In Customer Service Chatbots, Ana Gervazoni, Manuela Quaresma

ServDes Conference Series

When Artificial Intelligence systems are not explained clearly to users, it can negatively affect their interactions and compromise their perceptions of a brand. When designing and developing conversational agents that deal with the client, it is crucial to consider that they are a service and follow human-centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) approaches. This study discusses two HCAI frameworks, relate them to trust in the system and human autonomy and define how these guidelines could be met in customer service chatbot. A survey was conducted to determine if users' views about their interactions with chatbots aligned with the recommended guidelines and how …

Providing It Services For Enterprises Through The Adoption Of Information And Communication Technologies (Ict) In Restricted Environments: A Participatory Design Process To Refine The ‘Telework For People In Prisons’ Program In Colombia, Luz Alba Gallo

ServDes Conference Series

Since 2015, Colombia has been pioneering technology education in prisons by providing Telework certifications and bringing ICT access to prisoners in civil and military prisons. The goal of this program is for convicts to provide IT services to enterprises as part of their resocialization process. Although this program presented clear benefits for the prisoner’s resocialization process, implementing this initiative as a service was challenging due to several restrictions from the context and the grey areas in the related regulations that the prison ecosystem presented. In 2017, two years after the first phase of the program was deployed, the Ministry of …


Differences And Similarities Between Service Design And Ux Design: A Proposal, Diogo Camillo Jul 2023

Differences And Similarities Between Service Design And Ux Design: A Proposal, Diogo Camillo

ServDes Conference Series

This article aims to review service design (SD) and UX design (UXD) with the intention of proposing a delineation of the differences and similarities between service design and user experience design. The focus of this proposal is to emphasize service design as a field of knowledge and to enable future explorations of UXD contributions to SD and not the other way around. The specific purposes are: 1) differentiate the particularities of service design; 2) differentiate the particularities of the UX design; 3) list points of convergence between service design and UXD; mitigate terminological ambiguities. It is expected to find in …


Between Diving, Breathing And Splashing: Metaphors As Lenses To Inquire Public Innovation Initiatives, Caio Werneck, Isabella Brandalise Jul 2023

Between Diving, Breathing And Splashing: Metaphors As Lenses To Inquire Public Innovation Initiatives, Caio Werneck, Isabella Brandalise

ServDes Conference Series

This paper focuses on metaphors as a methodology to design and reflect on design-led initiatives in the public sector. We are drawing on the experience of a capacity-building program developed in 2020 by Enap (National School of Public Administration) in partnership with teams of the Brazilian federal government, in which we conducted four projects through the metaphor of a collective dive. When analyzing the effects of the projects through conversations with participants, we expanded the metaphor, understanding the reflections as breathing, the project conditions as bubbles and currents, and the results as splashes. We see splashes as variable yet rarely …

Designing For Logic Hybridity In New Service Development: A Case Of The Estonian Youth Mental Health Systems, Eva Liisa Kubinyi, Meghan Lazier, Maarja Mõtus, Josina Vink

ServDes Conference Series

Amid the shift to embrace systems thinking within service design, there is often a tendency to reduce many coexisting systems into one. This paper builds on recent literature that calls for a more mindful approach to working with plurality amid and between systems in service design. Using a research through design approach in the context of Estonia youth mental health systems, this paper presents a framework for holding onto the tensions that arise between multiple logics in new service development and maintaining logic hybridity in the service design process. By exploring how such a framework informs service design decisions and …
