Abstract

From early 2020 Arcada has pursued state-of-the-art research in human-robot-interaction (HRI). Deploying robots in a multitude of use cases and designing applications with experts from their respective fields. However, getting a robot service from the drafting stages in a lab out into a real-world professional situation is a complex endeavour that takes management, communication, and a multitude of talents. The paper aims to suggest a method, divided into three-stages for deploying humanoids in social environments. By participatory research with autoethnographic influences, this method is proposed through the experience, insight and knowledge of the authors. Having worked with field experts and customers to deploy humanoid robots in a multitude of environments over the past five years in different research projects. The three-stage method suggested (discovery, development, and deployment) aims to further other HRI projects.
