Design Thinking: A Human-Centered Path to Innovation

This workshop centered on Design Thinking, emphasizing starting from the real needs of users or audiences, rapid iteration, and prototype validation. The key stages included:

• Empathize: Understanding and observing the true experiences of target users
• Define: Extracting needs from insights to pinpoint the core issues
• Ideate: Conducting brainstorming and concept exploration using diverse methods
• Prototype: Turning ideas into initial visual or interactive prototypes
• Test: Optimizing through evaluations and feedback from users or team members

Final Presentations by the Three Teams

At the conclusion of the workshop, the three teams showcased their innovative prototype concepts through live demonstrations and discussions. Below are the creative highlights and key ideas from each team.

1. “Smart Workstation” — Integrated Hardware and AI Solution

The first team started with a physical device and developed a “Smart Workstation” that combines AI with hardware to upgrade both office and lifestyle scenarios across multiple dimensions:

• Form and Function:
  • A table + display + mobile stand, complete with wheels for easy movement
  • An integrated AI module offering voice recognition, environmental monitoring, and health detection functions
  • Eye-tracking technology to prevent distractions (“slacking off”) and monitor fatigue levels, prompting timely rest
• Expandable “Arms”:
  • A six-axis robotic joint that automatically adjusts the display angle and can even perform simple actions
  • Possibility for future expansion into culinary, card-dealing entertainment, and other rich scenarios
• Multi-Scenario Integration:
  • Adaptable for students doing homework, office workers at their jobs, and entertainment venues offering gaming experiences
  • Enhanced social features with ambient lighting and voice assistants

“We want to integrate all office, entertainment, and health management functions into one mobile workstation to truly enhance the work experience of both individuals and teams.”

— Representative of Team One

2. “Abby” — Multifunctional AI Companion for Home & Work

The second team focused on the “all-in-one AI assistant,” conceptualized as “Abby.” It is designed to offer comprehensive service and companionship for individuals, families, and various institutions:

• Core Positioning:
  • Suitable for a wide range of users: from children and the elderly to professionals
  • One-button switching among multiple roles such as tutor mode, health reminder mode, and emotional companion mode
• Product Form:
  • Constructed with special materials and a wheel design, making it lightweight and portable for various environments
  • Can be summoned or commanded via voice, WeChat, smart speakers, and other channels
• Global Market & Philanthropic Vision:
  • After production along domestic supply chains, the product unexpectedly sparked overseas interest, leading to an explosive surge in orders
  • Profits will be reinvested into philanthropy, supporting remote areas and underprivileged groups
• Scenario Coverage:
  • Online education for children, medication reminders for the elderly, and emotional communication among family members
  • Remote communication and support in business settings

“Abby stands by like a family member—taking care of your children and elders, and providing emotional support whenever you need it.”

— Representative of Team Two

3. AI-Driven Logistics and Emotion Management System

The third team concentrated on “enterprise logistics and emotion management” by proposing a data management system that integrates AI with daily employee workflows. It not only addresses administrative tasks like travel and ticketing but also uses multiple sensors (including sound and vital signs) to detect employee emotions and provide tailored care measures:

• Multidimensional Emotion Sensing:
  • Collecting and analyzing data to assess employees’ current emotional states (e.g., anxiety, irritability, fatigue)
• Intelligent Care and Assistance:
  • Offering electronic pets or AI chat tools to help relieve stress
  • Suggesting time off or family communication if low mood persists
  • Dynamically adjusting incentives (bonuses or learning opportunities) based on performance and state
• Feedback and Iterative Database Updates:
  • Continuously collecting employee usage and feedback data to refine the system’s decision-making models, delivering more personalized emotion support and logistics management

“Our system not only enhances work efficiency but also gives employees a greater sense of being cared for, helping them maintain a healthy physical and mental state at work.”

— Representative of Team Three

On-site Interaction and Feedback

After the teams presented their prototypes, a vibrant discussion took place. Key points of focus included:

• Data Privacy and Ethics: How to protect privacy when collecting employee emotional and behavioral data
• Feasibility and Cost: The practicality of hardware development, mass production, and entering international markets
• User Acceptance and Trust: Building trust in AI services regarding emotions, privacy, and system decision-making
• Balancing Philanthropy and Commerce: How to balance profitability with social responsibility as the products scale up

Conclusion and Outlook

This workshop combined “Design Thinking + AI” to let participants experience the whole process—from discovering needs to rapid prototype development. The teams’ presentations showcased the boundless possibilities of applying AI in work and life, while also highlighting the need for further discussion and iteration on practical implementation and ethics.

Looking ahead, we hope to see more teams and individuals join this exploratory journey. Together, we can ponder how AI can further humanize work, help teams unlock their potential, and simultaneously uphold ethics and social responsibility. Let’s continue to experiment and iterate toward a smarter, warmer, and more sustainable future!
