Aspects of Ambient UX Design Within Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation Processes

Abstract

Ambient User Experience design in architecture implies consideration of various intersecting and sometimes overlapping design fields such as interaction and architectural design with the aim to achieve a continuous and cohesive user experience across devices, time, and space. In this paper, Ambient User Experience design is explored in relation to Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation processes developed at TU Delft, which link computational design with robotic production and operation. Several case studies involving the integration of sensor-actuators into the built environment are discussed with respect to mapping activities through constraints and enablers and designing with the time as a variable.
