Kansei-based Development Methodology on Robotics
Main Article Content
Abstract
A Kansei-based product methodology is to use the responses from customers by translating the emotion, impression and feelings on products in order to determine the design parameters. This is a suitable methodology for product and engineering design called “Kansei Engineering”, which aims to develop or improve products in business way. In this recent, many Japanese researchers on robotics have been developed on the combination ideas of “Kansei Engineering”, and “Robotics” to become an emotional robot that can express its emotion and feelings. In this academic paper, the Kansei with robot is discussed in the various topics on robotics in Japanese and European researches. The authors describe with a general view of them in relation to knowledge based on engineering from the view points of own authors.
