Applying “Designerly Framing” to Understand Assisted Feeding as Social Aesthetic Bodily Experiences

What could it mean to take a designerly perspective of robotic eating aid get more holistic understanding meals as social and embodied experiences? In this article, we provide new bodily experiences assisted feeding. We apply “designerly framing” in the context Human Robot Interaction (HRI) contribute with insights for researchers backgrounds other than design into how can foreground aesthetic use. The study focuses on feeding five people impairments their arms or hands. All subjects have long-term experience meal assistance, four also using aid. data collection comprises seven interview sessions held peoples homes, functional analysis experience, workshop at agency. is supported by theoretical framework describing different types use open space. This complements extends existing knowledge acceptance abandonment assistive technology (AT) robotics meal.
