In this design research project, I spent a semester researching Automation and everything it entails— its history, how it impacts different people, and what it might look like in the future— in order to, in the end, draft a design brief that could be used to alter the path Automation is currently on to create a more mutualistic relationship between humans and robots in the future.

Notable design research methods used include an Eras Chart, Innovation Evolution Map, survey, ERAF Diagram, Descriptive Value Web, and literature reviews.
