Work Programmes


AP 1: Conceptualization of the overall system

Creating a shared understanding of the functionalities of our overall system, considering user-centered, technical, organizational, and didactic constraints, and refining functional requirements.

AP 2: Requirement analysis

Identifying the requirements stemming from interactions related to various dimensions of privacy by different stakeholders (sick children, schoolmates, teachers, and parents) to enable more transparency and control over their privacy. Simultaneously, examining the technical constraints and their extent caused by the data-minimized implementation of robot functions.

AP 3: User-Centered Design

The goal is to determine how the necessary interactions involving various stakeholders (sick children, schoolmates, teachers, and parents) can be implemented in a user-friendly manner and how potential conflicts between different privacy preferences can be resolved. Additionally, it focuses on enhancing the data-minimized functionalities of the robot.

AP 4: Design of data-minimized robot functions

Determining how control over informational privacy can be realized through the robots and identifying how potential conflicts between different functions and requirements can be resolved.

AP 5: Prototype implementation

The various solutions developed in AP 3 and AP 4, as well as evaluated in AP 7, will be implemented and integrated into a comprehensive functional prototype. The choice of implementation platform (robot) will be based on the results from AP 1.

AP 6: Prototype testing

Testing the operational conditions for robot deployment to identify and resolve issues early, ensuring the practical relevance of the developed solutions.

AP 7: Prototype evaluation

Assessment of the effects of developed and integrated transparency and control solutions on the trust and acceptance of the robots by the stakeholders.

AP 8: Project management

Ensuring the results of the project can be communicated both within and outside the consortium afterward.
