Abstract
The paper presents the first step of a user-centered design process for a robot designated to operate in urban public space. A participatory design workshop was conducted to challenge the anthropomorphic design approach assumed by the designers and elicit user requirements for the design. In contrast to the expectations, the results show a tendency towards a preference of a non-anthropomorphic design.
