“…The DS-Viz approach engages with current discourse on the nature and creation of design spaces (Goldschmidt, 2006;Halskov and Lundqvist, 2021;Nickel et al, 2022;Westerlund, 2005). Ultimately, the DS-Viz builds from rich discussion and debate in the design field, and from other fields.…”

“…This could hinder its application to a broader class of open-ended, ill-defined or wicked problems, and disregards the possibility of problem reformulation, evolution and co-evolution. Going beyond a formal elaboration of design problems, the set-based design space proposed by Nickel et al (2022) relies on the designers' choice of parameter to create the design space. This approach incorporates parameters that are related to the formulation of both the problem and solution, acknowledging that a design problem may have different design spaces associated with it due to its parametrisation.…”

“…This approach incorporates parameters that are related to the formulation of both the problem and solution, acknowledging that a design problem may have different design spaces associated with it due to its parametrisation. The visualisation of the design space offered by Nickel et al (2022) is based on 2D and 3D Cartesian schematic visualisations, in which the axes represent specific parameters (variables) that are being manipulated and each combination leads to a point in the spacesee Figure 1(c). The design space is further delimited by parameter constraints and Pareto frontiers that effectively define a feasible subset of the space.…”

“…Those can evolve through time as designers manipulate both parameters and constraints. However, if multiple design parameters have to be considered at the same time, the usual limitations of visualising multidimensional space in Cartesian graphs still apply (Nickel et al 2022). Another design space visualisation approach employs the genealogy tree strategy exemplified by Shah et al (2003).…”

Problems, solutions, and design itself have been framed as spaces in design research. Visualising the design space and how designers explore it, can give insight into the design process. This paper reports on a novel method for creating Design Space Visualisations (DS-Viz) that generates 2D and 3D representations of design spaces. We show how DS-Viz can be used to investigate designer behaviour, design processes and outcomes using a game-based design activity as an example. We discuss DS-Viz implications for design research highlighting potential benefits to design education and practice.

“…Ignoring power analysis and effect sizes has practical consequences. In robotics, design choices come with tradeoffs between manufacturing cost, design complexity, execution performance, computational costs, and energy consumption (Nickel et al, 2022;Saberifar et al, 2022).…”

When a robot’s motion is more predictable, users experience lower stress and perceive the robot as more competent. The present study examined previously unexplored relationships between robot motion, anthropomorphic forms, and human action understanding. In an online experiment, we tracked participants’ (n = 62) gaze as they watched a robotic arm, humanoid, and human pouring coffee, either in biological (smooth, curvilinear) or nonbiological (segmented, sudden) motion. Additionally, the action outcome was either correct (filling a cup) or erroneous (spilling); participants gave key-press responses to predict which outcome. Motion had significant main effects on both predictive gaze and error detection response times. However, while predictive gaze was statistically equivalent when observing the robotic arm and humanoid in biological motion, it was counterintuitively lower when observing humans. Taken together, our findings contribute evidence to support an expanded role of predictable motion in robot design.
