Inclusive Design Challenge | Playful Wearables
Hosted by: UPTEC's Product Development Lab
Co-organised by: IDEIA.M, Kyoto Institute of Technology & Design Includes You
Scientific Coordination, Julia Cassim, KIT
In design terms, the area of assistive devices can be called the graveyard of aspiration and style, although this is not the intention of their creators. Function is so all-important to their effectiveness that the great technological leaps forward have taken place within an engineering rather than a mainstream design context. Where form has followed function, it has been as a poor cousin rather than an equal partner with scant attention paid to the aesthetic aspirations of the user and the resulting emotional impact on them of stigmatising design.
Poor styling too, has often obscured both the innovative potential of the devices themselves as well as the enormous creative value that the extreme scenarios of disability offer for the design of mainstream products, communication and service design. Technological advances particularly in the area of smart textiles, responsive materials and 3D printing have opened new avenues for innovation and co-design in this field. This Inclusive Design Challenge aims to explore those avenues hand in hand with the design partners who will work with the teams.

10h00 - 11h30 | Action Tank 9 - Automotive Innovation
FEUP | Room I-105
Theme: C2G Life Cycle Prediction of Automotive Materials & Systems
Moderator: Clara Frias, University of Manchester
Invited speaker(s): Júlio Viana, University of Minho
Material ageing is commonly understood as changes of material properties with time. This physical or chemical alteration has a detrimental effect on the material properties and leads to gradual loss of the design function and unacceptable loss of efficiency or ultimate failure. Ageing of a material system under normal service conditions is a difficult case to treat. Many factors can significantly affect its durability, such as temperature, irradiation, moisture, chemicals, mechanical creep and fatigue loading. This means that the impact of ageing on performance can be critical on 'customer experience'. This session will focus on an 'age-aware' comprehensive simulation tool for the prediction and assessment of critically important automotive components and systems during manufacturing, in-service and the end of life.
10h00 - 11h30 | Action Tank 10 - Global Engineering
FEUP | Room A104
Theme: Global Engineering
Moderators: António Moreira and Marc Zupan, University of Maryland
Globalization has transformed engineering practice. Our interconnected world demands global engineers: a new generation of engineers adept at working in culturally diverse and geographically dispersed teams to solve large-scale technical challenges. Within this new paradigm, technical preparation is not enough. To be "globally competent," engineers must demonstrate certain "defining" technical skills as well as the "enabling skills" that allow them to operate effectively on international projects. The Global Engineering Action Tank will cover the interdisciplinary study intersecting engineering technology, entrepreneurship skills and the influence of the global society/culture on problem solving. Topics to be addressed include but are not limited to how engineering is practiced globally, cultural issues, differences in engineering around the world, how to conduct oneself in a foreign environment, and preparing for an international engineering experience. The Action Tank will develop rules, methods, tools and Global Engineering schemes within the context of the available literature and our direct workshop observations.

Theme: Fuelling service innovation through service design
Moderator: Lia Patrício, UPORTO
Invited speakers:
Dominik Mahr, University of Maastricht
Nelson Pinho, Compta
Service innovation has become a strategic imperative for Europe, as both service and manufacturing organisations look for new service solutions to co-create value with customers and improve their competitive position. Service design is crucial to service innovation, as it brings new service ideas to life.
Service design is a human-centered, creative, iterative approach to the creation of new services that incorporates multiple contributions from service marketing, operations, and information technology, all integrated through design-based methods and tools. It integrates designing thinking with its iterative process of exploration, ideation, reflection and implementation, with systems thinking that enables understanding and designing the interrelated components of service systems and value networks. In this session Professor Dominik Mahr from the Service Science Factory and University of Maastricht, and Dr. Nelson Pinho from Compta, will share their experience on how service design has helped fuelling service innovation in both academic and industrial contexts.

Theme: Sustainable Presence in the Ocean
Moderator: João Sousa, UPORTO
Invited Speakers:
Martin Ludvigsen, NTNU
Francesco Maurelli, Technical University of Munich
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are playing an increasingly important role in helping scientists and industry understand the oceans. All can be programmed, some can be deployed for long periods, some to depths of 6,000 metres, most gather data about the water column, measuring ocean currents, while an increasing number map or photograph the ocean floor, reaching places inaccessible to other machines. Nowadays, the challenges are more related with the deploying of AUVs for longer periods, improving sensor capacity and making the machines less dependent on human intervention after deployment. Demands for greater capability by users means that AUV developers are focused on making improvements in areas such as energy efficiency, propulsion, command and control, payloads, autonomy and reliability. This session will focus on the challenges ahead and on the promising technologies that are being developed in the field.
