Description
The proliferation of anthropomorphic robots in various domains requires a standardized approach to evaluate their capabilities and suitability for real-world applications. This review synthesizes adequate research and provides an overview of essential design dimensions in the form of a morphological box to support designers of anthropomorphic robots. We cover five design dimensions: 1) human-like appearance, 2) robot mobility, 3) human-robot interaction, 4) robot construction, and 5) robot sensors. Using this morphological box, researchers and practitioners become aware of design decisions they will have to make when designing anthropomorphic robots. It prevents fragmented or partial perspectives on anthropomorphic robot design and provides a basis for structured, holistic design explorations. Using the case of anthropomorphic robots, we discuss the potential of morphological analysis for design science research (DSR).
