About the Talk

This talk takes a fresh look at everyday product design through the lens of social robotics. Designer/Artist Carla Diana shares over a decade of case studies, from thermostats to hospital robots, showing how a holistic design approach creates meaningful, intuitive, and delightful interactions. Insights from her book, "My Robot Gets Me" (HBR Press 2021), and a glimpse into Cranbrook Academy of Art's 4D Design masters program are discussed.
