“…For example innovative and rule-based design comparisons, object identity disruptions or dominant design description. Knowing how to specify a design process in relation to these cases gives us clues for the management of a project.C-K theory allows us to understand the design beyond the scope of innovation [8]. We can observe it in the following example ( Figure 4).…”

-New products in mechatronics, and especially the spreading of microcontrollers, allow a rise in robotic projects of building construction companies. This new context gives the ability to non mechatronic experts to develop building sites robotics.In this paper we will describe the design process of a drilling robot prototype made in our Research and Development department. This specific project was constrained by a lack of specifications, and required fast and low cost methods. We had to face the risk of information loss and mistakes in the appreciation of the results. We intend to explain the design methods and knowledge used in the management of this project.The use of design theories and methods seem to be necessary. Example such as Axiomatic Design or TRIZ can be too strict or too distant from a specific design case. We assume that C-K Theory developed by A.Hatchuel and B.Weil can be a relevant design tool for the development of robotics projects in construction. Thus we wish to present in this article the way we use the C-K Theory to analyze our design process. This design theory is based on two spaces: the knowledge space K and the concept space C. It will reveal the concept and knowledge mechanics in our projects and give clues to produce methods for the management of similar projects such as SingleTask Construction Robots.

“…C-K theory, which was introduced by Hatchuel and Weil [42][43][44] , integrates creative thinking and innovation by utilizing two spaces: (1) The knowledge space (K) -a space containing propositions that have a logical status for the designer; and (2) The concepts space (C) -a space containing concepts that are propositions or groups of propositions that have no logical status (i.e. are undetermined) in K [42][43][44][45][46] . This means that when a concept is formulated, it is impossible to prove that it is a proposition in K. Rather, concepts generate questions, and the research to answer those questions will generate new knowledge that will provide new attributes for new concepts.…”

She has 12 years of K-12 teaching experience working with learners with high incidence disabilities in urban and rural high needs communities. Since entering Higher Education, Dr. Beverly has worked preparing teachers to provide access, opportunity, encouragement, engagement, and critical feedback to ideas, activities, people, spaces, and learning for diverse populations , providing professional development in leadership and inclusive education with international teachers, and developing models of cultural/global competence and study abroad programs. Central to Dr. Beverly's Her work is based on the interdisciplinary collaborations and the many interconnections of knowledge, meaning making, learning and teaching.c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Enhancing the Pedagogy of Bio-inspired Design in an Engineering Curriculum AbstractIn addition to providing the technical expertise required to solve 21 st century problems, the engineers of 2020 will be expected to adapt to a continuously evolving environment while operating outside the limits of their discipline and remaining ethically grounded. Their undergraduate training must therefore be designed to nurture engineers to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, and to communicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and nonte...
