Nursing Robot Design Based on the Concept of Industrial Design

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to propose a method applied in designing nursing robot which can provide life support for the elderly living alone. The overall industrial design needs to abide by the design principle based on human beings. The proposed method is put forward from four aspects of form, color, material and human computer interaction and the final innovative design is proved to be better than other similar designs and promotes the industrialization of the nursing robot in China. Under the situation of there is still a big gap in study of the nursing robot between China and other countries, our efforts will make a positive contribution to Chinese research of industrial design of nursing robot.
