Announcements • Papers are due this Friday at 11:59 PM • Don’t wait until 11:59 PM to try and upload your paper. You might run into technical difficulties • There were problems with plagiarism in the outlines • this needs to be eliminated before you turn in your reports • check your Turnitin.com originality report. • Read Guidelines about the required Appendix C of robot report – so you know what to do
My robot project is this far • All done – robot leaves arena with green beacon • Can find green beacon – but can’t leave arena • Can find red beacon and turn it off – but can’t find green beacon • Can find red beacon but can’t turn it off • Cannot find red beacon
Human Factors in Design Appendix C of Robot Report
Requirements for Appendix C • 1 page (400-500 words) for each member of the team • Discuss how to modify the design of a companion robot to serve a child or a 65+ adult • Base your design decisions on information from reliable literature (see examples in Canvas)
Human Factors is the application of knowledge about human characteristics to design • Physical • Strength, size, reaction time, endurance, frailty, eyesight, fine motor skills • Social/Emotional/Cultural • User preferences (simplicity, reliability, aesthetics, safety, cost, etc.), culturally-based behaviors (reading, speaking), acceptance • Cognitive • Understanding cause and effect, user interface, interpreting emotions and intentions
Human Factors (ergonomics) integrates knowledge from multiple fields • Engineering • Psychology • Physiology/Kinesiology • Biology • Anthropology SJSU has a human factors program in the Industrial and Systems Engineering department Source: Integrated Safety Management, Berkeley Labwikipedia

Discuss with your neighbor how human factors were included in the IDEO shopping cart design.
