Summary
Online canvases effectively support social robot design workshops and courses, adapting Human-Centred Design (HCD) for remote collaboration. This research offers practical guidelines and a Hybrid Robotic Design Model (HRDM) for tangible product development in virtual environments.
Area of Science:
- Human-Robot Interaction
- Design Studies
- Online Collaboration
Background:
- Social robot design traditionally uses Human-Centred Design (HCD) and involves tangible objects.
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid shift of design activities to online modes.
- Designing tangible products online presents challenges in demonstrating physical interaction experiences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the use of online canvases for social robot design workshops and courses.
- To share lessons learned from utilizing collaborative design canvases for early-stage concept ideation.
- To propose practical guidelines for online facilitation of creative design projects.
Main Methods:
- Utilized online canvases to support both short-term workshops and long-term courses in social robot design.
- Collected participant feedback and facilitator experiences.
- Developed a Hybrid Robotic Design Model (HRDM) for online tangible design.
Main Results:
- Online canvases proved effective in supporting creative social robot design projects, particularly in concept ideation.
- Identified key lessons learned regarding online facilitation and the challenges of designing tangible robots remotely.
- The HRDM offers a structured approach to integrating online and in-person elements.
Conclusions:
- Online canvases are valuable tools for facilitating remote social robot design activities.
- Practical guidelines and the HRDM can enhance the effectiveness of online design education and projects.
- Adapting HCD principles to online environments is crucial for successful tangible product development.

01:06Virtual Work for a System of Connected Rigid Bodies
450
Virtual work is a powerful method used to solve problems involving several connected rigid bodies. When the system is in equilibrium, virtual work is zero. This allows the calculation of the resulting forces when a system undergoes a virtual displacement. When attempting to analyze such a system, first, use a free-body diagram, where an independent coordinate represents the configuration of the links, and mark its deflected position resulting from the positive virtual displacement.

01:13Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving
1.3K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.

The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...
