1P1-B23 Robotization of Playground Equipment for Cultivating-by-Playing : Practical Research on Informatics on How Consumer Products Are Used in Everyday Life And Unintentional Injury Control Engineering

Abstract

Safety issue of consumer products is recognized as a big social problem recently. This paper proposes a new methodology "robotization of consumer products" which integrates the following methods as a kind of a feedback system ; 1) sensing how consumer products are used in everyday life, 2) constructing computational model from the collected data in a data-driven way, and 3) improving the products based on the constructed model. This paper reports study on playground equipment as a case study for establishing robotization methodology.
