Abstract

A robot working in public spaces must not frighten the surrounding people. However, this could occur if it is not evident that the robot is safe. To avoid frightening people, the robot must be designed with both safety and appearance considerations. However, few relevant design theories have been developed. In this study, a mobile robot was designed using a concept that eliminates dangerous elements from the mobile robot’s appearance. Finally, we developed a mobile robot with a flexible cowl based on safety and design property considerations.
