공학 교육을 위한 지능화된 인공물의 성격에 대한 정성적 연구 방법 : 로봇청소기의 외형, 소리, 행동을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper suggests the necessity of design education to engineering majors through qualitative research on the characteristics of intelligentartifacts. Robot cleaner is one of intelligent artificial objects that can approach people’s life without awkwardness. How do people thinkof robot cleaners and define their personality, these days? In this experiment, subjects use and observe four different robot cleanersthat have different appearances, behaviors and sounds in an experimental setup where is similar to actual use environment. We measuresubjects’ preferences and assessments for four different robot cleaners’ personality. The test subjects were 11 designers who frequentlycollaborated with engineers and were able to express and express opinions about products. Experimental results showed that robot cleanerswith the highest scores in appearance, behavior, and sound had the highest preference. In contrast, robot cleaners with low scores inthree factors showed different results in the preference ranking
