ABSTRACT
We discuss how an experience centred approach to robotic design might lead to new design spaces and products that are more engaging and better meet users' needs and lifestyles. To support the statement, we present preliminary data from a long-term user study on an eating aid robot.

Disabled persons as lead users in the domestic environment
DPPI '07: Proceedings of the 2007 conference on Designing pleasurable products and interfacesThe paper describes the results of a user study conducted to probe the user experience and preferences of disabled persons in their domestic environments in order to challenge and improve the current state of accessible design. The study indicates that ...
Breaking the exclusionary boundary between user experience and access: steps toward making UX inclusive of users with disabilities
SIGDOC '19: Proceedings of the 37th ACM International Conference on the Design of CommunicationThis research paper points out that we as Designers have failed to come up with a model of UX that would proximate a satisfying user experience for users with disabilities. It underscores the gaps in designer knowledge about disabled bodies. The ...
User-centered design, activity-centered design, and goal-directed design: a review of three methods for designing web applications
SIGDOC '09: Proceedings of the 27th ACM international conference on Design of communicationWhen conducting research with users in order to design web applications, the practitioner has a variety of methods from which to choose. This paper examines three such methods'User-Centered Design (UCD), Goal-Directed Design (GDD), and Activity-Centered ...
