Robot Designer or Robot Creator

Abstract

Summary form only given. A robot is the first machine that can communicate with human beings in machine invention history. Thus, a robot is required to have a friendly appearance and natural motions to make people feel that the robot is lifelike. A humanoid robot is a human friendly interface between humans and machines. Examples include electric appliances, home security systems, computers, and all cyber networks. Robots have the potential to have a great impact to the live of humans. Robot were typically be developed by a researcher for researchers to work inside of a research laboratory. Due to this, robot design is not recognized as an important issue. It is unfortunate that sometimes robot design sketches are drawn as physically impossible by existing industrial designers or animation designers who are not familiar with the internal workings of a robot. After the initial drawing, to create actual robot, these sketches are greatly modified by engineers who are not familiar with design. This process does not work, however. Therefore, it is important to develop the field of "Robot Design"", and to educate specialists, as a "Robot Designer" or "Robot Creator"". Currently, robots are becoming more common as a daily product. Presenting a well-designed robot can grow future consumers of robots. Most researchers want to share their experience: indeed, they are happy to do so.
