As the application of design and technology has become more interdisciplinary and integrated, the development of interactive service robots (ISRs), which are designed according to unique situational requirements, has emerged as a popular trend. Research has shown that if affective computing technology and machine learning mechanisms can be introduced to enhance interaction and feedback between ISRs and users, ISRs can better satisfy the needs of a greater number of people. In addition, they may be better aligned with both the service context and the future development of innovative services. Based on an interdisciplinary integration framework, this study combines the concept and method of design thinking, emotion-detection technology, and case-based reasoning (CBR) to simulate the service situation of an interview, and thus to develop a prototype emotion-sensing robot (ESR) system. The results of the experiment were then used to analyze the effectiveness of integrating corresponding technologies as well as the value, utility, and affordance of the developed system. This study constructed an ESR prototype and validated its worth as an application by integrating and testing core emotion-detection technologies. The ESR developed based using an interdisciplinary approach is able to connect user needs and the application of technology to the development of corresponding functions. Furthermore, this study introduced CBR analysis to establish a link between an interactive service context, the professional backgrounds of users, and an emotion-sensing evaluation system. Despite meeting both user requirements and user-centered design requirements, as well as demonstrating the feasibility of the system, future studies are necessary to enrich the cases in the database of CBR system and establish a foundation of machine learning principles for ESRs. |
