In Effective Design, Rushton features a video showing a robotic dog
He gives the following prompts to accompany this video:
“Try making a note of each thing the designers of the robotic dog added to make the robot successful. How many different things were you able to identify? What else intrigues you about the robot?
To make this work, the designers engaged in a lot of planning. What is something you’d like to make happen, and how many details can you explore in trying to give yourself the best chance for success?”
I’m always fascinated by robots and to see a robotic dog was even more exciting! I sometimes think that this is something that some people with special needs go through every day. They are different and trying to fit in with the majority of society. As a teacher, I try to find the little nuances that will help them fit in with their peers. This would be a great video to show some of these students to help them realize what they need to do in everyday life in order to fit in with people their own age.
Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
