“…The reason for choosing EC displays is that they are easy to produce and have a proven track record in interactive artefacts [9][10][11] and can be integrated easily with other materials such as paper [12,16] or be used as part of a wearable [4,8]. We followed previous work and used the PneuNet design for our actuators [6].…”

Fig. 1. Examples of two different soft-robotic actuators with build in electrochromic displays produced with the ChromaBot method.Soft robotics -robots built from highly compliant materials that resemble soft biological materials -have recently become more popular especially in industry settings, given their ability to handle fragile objects. One problem however of these devices is that they can only communicate intend or the need for help through movement. To overcome this limitation, in this paper we present ChromaBot, a method towards prototyping soft robotic actuators with integrated printed electrochromic displays. Our method only degrades the longevity of the soft robotic actuator in an acceptable manner while at the same time allows for a more expressive soft robot. We present detailed instructions on how to prototype ChromaBot as well as an initial analysis of the durability, both of the display as well as of the actuator.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI); • Computer systems organization → Robotics.

“…Prototyping can be done using off-the shelf printing techniques such as screen printing or a slightly modified ink-jet printer (Jensen, Colley, Häkkilä, et al, 2019). The process of assembling the displays is easy and does not require any special requirements such as a clean room, making it relatively easy for designers to test their ideas in practice (Jensen, Craft, Löchtefeld, & Bjørn, 2022).…”

Smart environments, integrating different sensors and other technology solutions, are one of the key direction in which everyday spaces in buildings are expected to develop in the future. One aspect of smart environments includes large interactive surface areas, which are embedded to walls, tables or other furniture. This chapter introduces how service design methods have been applied in our research on smart surfaces, and discusses different design methods and their strengths in this context. Specifically, we present three service design cases, interactive wallpaper, a smart building infrastructure and a smart cafe table, and how the related use cases have been studied with service design methods. These three design cases are positioned at different maturity levels of the product development process, the interactive wallpaper and smart building representing early design concepts, and the interactive table a functional prototype.

“…This course is an improved variant of the course given at CHI 2019 [17] (it was also accepted at CHI 2020 and MUM 2021 which however, were both unfortunately cancelled due to COVID-19 [15,16]) with slightly different instructors. But all instructors have extensive experience from running similar courses for audiences ranging from artists to computer scientists [9] that we arrange as part of the EU funded DecoChrom project. Overall we have run variants of this course over 25 times with more than 300 participants.…”
