Abstract
Currently, many works focus on algorithms that generate explanations, and evaluate the impact on user trust and understanding over robots afterwards. We suggest a user-centric approach for explainability from the very beginning. Concretely, we propose a participatory design methodology with three main steps: (1) to find together with users what makes an application usable, (2) to co-design the interface to make sure it is intuitive and understandable, and only then (3) to redefine and develop the robot’s functionality and autonomous behaviours. We perform the proposed framework’s first steps together with different stakeholders in a geriatric unit at an intermediate care centre.
