Abstract

Exertion activities, such as jogging, provide many health benefits, but exercising on your own can be considered disengaging. We present our system 'Joggobot', a flying robot accompanying joggers. Our design process revealed preliminary insights into how to design robots for exertion and how to address emerging design challenges. We summarize these insights into the four themes: 'embodiment', 'control', 'personality' and 'communication', which mark initial starting points towards understanding how to design robots for exertion activities. We hope our work guides and inspires designers when facilitating the benefits of exertion through robots.

Joggobot: jogging with a flying robot
CHI EA '13: CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Joggobot illustrates a novel approach towards a more social use of robots, where the robot acts as exercise companion to make physical activity more enjoyable. Joggobot is the first autonomous flying robot companion for joggers. Joggobot makes the solo ...
Jogging with a Quadcopter
CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Jogging is a popular exertion activity. The abundance of jogging apps suggests to us that joggers can appreciate the opportunity for technology to support the jogging experience. We want to take this investigation a step further by exploring if, and how,...
Designing for Bodily Interplay in Social Exertion Games

While exertion games facilitate, and benefit from, social play, most exertion games merely support players acting independently. To help designers explore the richness of social play in exertion games, we present the design dimension “bodily interplay” ...
