Imagining and creating a future with a robot tailored to an individual’s needs and wants provides a unique challenge to both designers and perspective users. Using both an existing base zoomorphic robot, TherabotTM in a specially designed tabletop role-playing game, we have explored what it would look like for someone living with depression to go through a “day in the life” with their newly designed robot companion. Inspired by this collaborative co-design technique, eight participants explained their own relationship with depression, identified a character that they connected with, and chose the physical form, sensors, and abilities for a socially assistive robot. Using this character and robot, participants described how they might overcome depression symptoms and identified uses when managing depression symptoms for the robot.
