“…This might even lead us to a toolkit where we leave the design of some issues such as color, actions, behavior and size to accompanying software synchronized with the physical toolkit. This approach is similar to how Zhu and Zhao [22] work with paper prototypes. With these programmable parts we can create a new experience without forgetting that this is still a human-centered design tool and not a tool for children to effectively build robots.…”

Including children in the design of technologies that will have an impact on their daily lives is one of the pillars of user-centered design. Educational robots are an example of such a technology where children's involvement is important. However, the form in which this involvement should take place is still unclear. Children do not have a lot of experience with educational robots yet, while they do have some ideas of what robot could be like from popular media, such as BayMax from the Big Hero 6 movie. In this paper we describe two pilot studies to inform the development of an elicitation method focusing on form factors; a first study in which we have asked children between 8 and 15 years old to design their own classroom robot using a toolkit, the Robo2Box, and a second study where we have compared the use of the Robo2Box toolkit and clay as elicitation methods. We present the results of the two studies, and discuss the implications of the outcomes to inform further development of the Robo2Box for prototyping classroom robots by children.

“…There is already a focus on the design of electronic paper, which integrates electronic components to support digital interaction. Researchers have combined paper and electronics and presented toolkits for the design of interactive papercraft [6,19,25]. Oh et al [20,26,27] presented paper mechatronics, which combined electronics and computation with traditional papercraft.…”

“…Researchers have explored the affordances of paper with Do It Yourself (DIY) electronics to create interactive books [1,2], paper actuators [3], origami robots [4], and tangible paper interfaces [5]. Paper is inexpensive, lightweight, environmentally friendly, and foldable, with myriad methods of creative expression through the medium itself [6]. We rely on these advantages to fabricate the prototypes used in water environments, and develop ElectroPaper, a low-cost and effective approach to implement them.…”

ElectroPaper: Design and Fabrication of Paper-Based Electronic Interfaces for the Water Environment

et al. 2021

The fabrication of underwater devices is necessary for the exploration of water environments and interactions in the Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) field. However, there are fewer approaches to support prototyping used in water environments. The existing prototype methods lack systematic waterproof treatments and provide insufficient software for balance and buoyancy analysis. To address these limitations, we present ElectroPaper, a new approach for the design and fabrication of prototypes used in water environments (surface or beneath) with paper-based electronic interfaces with a crease layer, hardware distribution layer, and hollow-out layer to support physical properties, such as waterproofing, foldability, and conformability. The approach includes a computational design tool for assisting in balance analysis, three-dimensional (3D) model unfolding, and circuit drawing. We describe the design and fabrication process and provide several example applications to illustrate the feasibility and utility of our approach. ElectroPaper provides an inexpensive and effective medium for the fabrication of customized digital prototypes for water environment use.

In this paper, we present DupRobo, an interactive robotic platform for tangible block-based design and construction. DupRobo supported user-customizable exemplar, repetition control, and tangible autocompletion, through the computervision and the robotic techniques. With DupRobo, we aim to reduce users' workload in repetitive block-based construction, yet preserve the direct manipulatability and the intuitiveness in tangible model design, such as product design and architecture design. Through a user study with 12 participants, we found that DupRobo significantly reduced participants' perceived physical demand, overall efforts, and frustration in the process of block-based structure design and construction, compared to the situation without DupRobo. In addition, the participants rated DupRobo as easy to learn and use.
