Define Soft Robotics Problem

Submission Required

In small groups, students synthesize research findings into a user-centered problem definition. They interview at least one potential user (e.g., clinician, patient, or caregiver) to uncover real needs related to how soft robotics could improve daily life. Groups then craft: a POV statement that centers the user, 3–5 How Might We questions to reframes the challenge, 1–2 user persona profiles, and a simple problem tree or systems map showing root causes, stakeholders, and constraints. Outputs will guide later ideation and design.
