  This paper investigates Universal Design (UD) through the idea of designing for situated abilities, rather than focusing on designing for disabled users. This shift in perspective from disabilities to abilities is explored through the design of a domestic robot that integrates into our homes, in a familiar way. We explore the concept of designing for situated abilities through a proof-of-concept robotic wooden table, the T-ABLE, as an alternative design for domestic robots. Finally, the paper identifies four dimensions of situated abilities.

  This paper analyzes work activity in the home, e.g., cleaning, performed by two actors, a human and a robot. Nowadays, there are attempts to automate this activity through the use of robots. However, the activity of cleaning, in and of itself, is not important; it is used instrumentally to understand if and how robots can be integrated within current and future homes. The theoretical framework of the paper is based on empirical work collected as part of the Multimodal Elderly Care Systems (MECS) project. The study proposes a framework for the division of work tasks between humans and robots. The framework is anchored within existing research and our empirical findings. Swim-lane diagrams are used to visualize the tasks performed (WHAT), by each of the two actors, to ascertain the tasks’ temporality (WHEN), and their distribution and transitioning from one actor to the other (WHERE). The study presents the framework of various dimensions of work tasks, such as the types of work tasks, but also the temporality and spatiality of tasks, illustrating linear, parallel, sequential, and distributed tasks in a shared or non-shared space. The study’s contribution lies in its foundation for analyzing work tasks that robots integrated into or used in the home may generate for humans, along with their multimodal interactions. Finally, the framework can be used to visualize, plan, and design work tasks for the human and for the robot, respectively, and their work division.

  This paper presents motion as feedback. The study is based on empirical data from an explorative study of semiautonomous robots used in domestic settings. We explore feedback received from stationary technology, e.g., a smartphone, and technology that is self-propelled, e.g., a semiautonomous robot. The paper has its theoretical foundation in the familiarity concept used as a contextual and analytical tool for unpacking feedback. The data analysis is done through thematic analysis. The findings are structured in: feedback received from a smartphone app technology, feedback received from the robot-mediated via an app; and motion as feedback received from the robot. Motion as feedback is discussed in terms of: (a) what type of emotions feedback triggers in theusers, and (b) making sense of the motion as positive, negative,homeostatic, archival and transition feedback. We argue that having familiarity in mind when designing new technologies, can make it easier for the user to know-how to engage with the technology. Our conclusion is that: a semi-autonomous robot technology can become more familiar to the user if it triggers positive feelings, if its motion is coherent, if its navigation is appropriate to the situation, and if its motion is not disturbing or interrupting the user; and lastly, familiarity needs to be considered when designing for a robot for the elderly.

  The CDIO approach is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers. The aim is an education that supports students to acquire a deeper working understanding of the technical fundamentals while simultaneously developing the competencies needed for Conceiving – Designing – Implementing – Operating (CDIO) real-world systems, products, and processes. Throughout the world, more than 125 institutions have adopted CDIO as the framework of their curriculum development. The Annual International Conference is the main meeting of the CDIO Initiative and it includes presentations of papers as well as special seminars, workshops, events and activities. The 12th International CDIO Conference takes place in Turku, Finland, June 12–16, 2016, hosted by Turku University of Applied Sciences. The organizers together with the City of Turku welcome you to the event! The main theme of this year is Enhancing Innovation Competencies through Advances in Engineering Education. It is visible in the keynote presentations, topical sessions and workshops. The rich topical program will facilitate lively discussion and contribute to further development of engineering education. The conference includes two types of contributions, Full Papers and Projects in Progress. The Full Papers fall into three tracks: Advances in CDIO, CDIO Implementation, and Engineering Education Research. All Full Papers have undergone a full single-blind review process to meet scholarly standards. The CDIO Projects in Progress contributions describe current activities and initial developments, and were selected by the program committee co-chairs based on the submitted abstracts. Originally, 239 abstracts were submitted to the conference. The authors of the accepted Full Paper abstracts submitted 141 Full Paper manuscripts to the peer review process. During the review, 295 review reports were filed by 74 members of the 2016 International Program Committee. Acceptance decisions were made based on these reviews. The reviewers’ constructive remarks served as valuable support to the authors of the accepted full papers when they prepared the fi nal versions of their contributions. We want to address our warmest thanks to those who participated in the rigorous review process. This publication contains the 100 accepted full papers that will be presented at the conference, of which 14 are Advances in CDIO; 72 CDIO Implementation; and 14 Engineering Education Research. These papers have been written by 283 diff erent authors representing 24 countries. This book is available as an electronic publication only. In addition to the Full Papers, 57 CDIO Project in Progress contributions will be presented at the conference and are not included in this publication. We hope that you fi nd these contributions valuable in developing your own research, curriculum development, and teaching practice, ultimately furthering the engineering profession. Seize the opportunity to discuss and network with colleagues during the conference. Global understanding and partnerships are of major importance in educating the future generations of engineers. Wishing all of you a fruitful CDIO 2016 experience! Turku May 13, 2016

  The RO-SO tutorial is a continuation of the previous tutorials regarding robots, ethics, legal, and technical aspects. The tutorial is part of the 30th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (ROMAN 2021). It focuses on providing an overview and discussing the ethical, legal, and technical perspectives, including challenges, dilemmas, and advantages and opportunities of integrating robots as part of home- and healthcare systems and services. The following two questions will guide the overall objective for this tutorial, but these will not limit the talks: How does the meaning of good care change when we integrate robots as part of the home- and healthcare systems and services? What does good care mean when we integrate assistive robots as part of the home- and healthcare services? What are some of the ethical, legal, and technical challenges and opportunities when integrating assistive care robots in the home- and healthcare services?

  This paper is a conceptual, empirical, and philosophical exploration of the ways we experience the motion of things. The paper aims to understand better how humans understand the motion of semi-autonomous things. The paper focuses on two perspectives of understanding (robot) motion: 1) through familiarity and a phenomenological approach; and 2) through legibility as a qualitative attribute of motion. Finally, seeing motion through the lenses of these two concepts adds to the development of an understanding of communication or interaction between humans and moving things, and the human relationship to motion.
