CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM OF SHAPING CHARACTERISTICS OF PERSONAL SERVICE ROBOTS

This article discusses the shaping factors in the design of personal service robots. This study develops a classification system of shaping characteristics of personal service robots based on the system of shaping factors of entire design solutions. The systematization of functional, structural, technological, aesthetic, economic factors affecting the shaping of personal service robotics makes possible the selection of the main shaping characteristics and the development of a classifier to create a system for analyzing and scientific description of personal service robots. Relying on classical approaches to the design of a product, the characteristic "Form" uses the properties of the composition of three-dimensional objects related to geometry, volume, and visualization. The structural aspect interrelates structure, configuration, mechanics engineering, electronic engineering and software engineering. The materials aspect involves type, colour, texture, and facture of the materials. The technology aspect refers to functional regarding the production of the service robot products.
