Process Analysis of Social Implementation Approach Based on Robot Education

A promising procedure for process analysis of “Social Implementation Approach Based on Robot Education" is proposed. The aim of this education program is to give students a situation in which the students must communicate with trial users, because the realization of service robots needs to be achieved by producers and users mutually communicating their intents and perceptions. This program also provides very good opportunities for students to apply their engineering knowledge to solve problems in real society. Based on the above, we made an attempt to analyze the processes of each Social Implementation Approach by reference to the frequency of student-user interaction. A classification of the processes according to the method type of “Agile” or “Waterfall” for estimation of the characteristics of each Social Implementation Approach is also described.
