Abstract


This study introduces the initial phase of Ulrich and Eppinger’s' product design approach, specifically the requirements analysis, employed to architect a cost-effective, education-oriented humanoid robot. Existing robots in education are costly and inaccessible. Addressing the necessity for all educational institutions to possess such a robot, this research proposes the development of an experimental model attainable at an affordable price. However, such a process requires the identification of the particular needs of clients. It necessitates the discernment of specific client needs through a concise questionnaire. The responses are subsequently analyzed to convert needs into functional specifications. The next stage is the creation of a functional hierarchy, paving the way for future investigations on the optimal concept and the development of the proposed experimental model.
