「可穿戴外骨骼機器人」即穿戴在使用者身體外部用以強化或輔助使用者力量及耐力的一種智慧機械結構。隨著可穿戴技術的發展，外骨骼機器人已經逐漸離開實驗室進入我們的日常生活，開始出現在城市環境中的機器人服務將改變我們的社會。外骨骼機器人的應用在現階段的發展仍是缺乏使用情境上的思考，在技術成熟的前提下，該裝置在都市中有何服務潛力可以被探索是本論文的重點之一，其次該服務系統該如何置入城市並與都市系統結構結合形成一種新的城市生活風格是本論文的另一個重點。
本研究中相關文獻的整理一部分為近年來可穿戴技術分類與發展，著重于外骨骼機器人近年來的技術發展方向，以及相關開發商推出的商品案例，強調外骨骼機器人作為一種輔具已逐漸經由商品的形式進入我們的生活之中。另一部分為探討此類功能輔具融入社會而可能產生的新價值，歸納幾種已經在生活中隨處可見的輔具其衍生出的工具以外的附加價值。最後一部分為對未來城市的想像，試圖去整理現有對未來城市的想像或是過去對現有城市的思考脈絡，重點在新科技技術進入城市的前提下，城市的發展會朝向何種趨勢。
設計探索主要分為兩個設計研究週期，在第一個設計研究週期，以外骨骼機器人使用者及相關專家的焦點團體訪談，獲取現有外骨骼機器人使用者的使用狀況作為設計的依據。設計發展結合使用者經驗設計及服務設計相關方法，用城市設計的角度提出「外骨骼機器人共用艙」的設計策略，作為未來外骨骼穿戴服務的服務載體，以及「外骨骼驛站」的設計概念以城市視角整合外骨骼服務進入城市基礎系統，為城市建構新的情境。最後選擇成功大學校區及其周邊地區作為設計基地，評估共用艙的佈置環境，進行實際場域的設計操作；在第二個設計研究週期關注於討論外骨骼科技普及下的未來情境，以參與式推測設計的形式舉行該主題的工作坊，進行實踐探討，理解行動過程及參與者實踐過後的見解，並將其轉化為設計願景的伏筆，讓民眾有機會作為積極推測未來參與者。本研究初探外骨骼科技進入城市空間的服務情境，透過訪談觀察及相關設計思考的探索，最後歸納科技輔具融入城市生活的設計策略，提供一種新的城市生活願景，期待提供有價值的參考意義。

With the rapid advancement of wearable technology, exoskeleton robots are no longer confined to laboratories but have gradually become part of our daily lives. As these robots start to make appearances in urban environments, they hold the potential to bring about significant changes in our society. However, currently, there exists a lack of contextual thinking and well-defined guidelines for the application of exoskeleton robots in urban spaces. Addressing this issue, this design proposal aims to offer valuable insights into the various application scenarios of exoskeleton robots.
This research delves into exploring the possibilities of introducing exoskeleton technology into urban spaces by envisioning additional service scenarios. To achieve this, the study draws upon interviews and observations of experts and users in the field of exoskeleton robotics, which serve as the basis for user behavior design. The development of the design is supported by extensive literature research and interviews to establish the fundamental conditions for integrating exoskeleton robot services into urban settings.
The research adopts a strategic approach, conceptualizing the wearable space of exoskeleton technology as a spatial entity within the city. Simultaneously, it considers the integration of supporting infrastructure within the urban system, essential to accommodate these novel technological services. Through a comprehensive exploration of exoskeleton technology's integration into urban spaces, this research sheds light on the current service landscape. By identifying relevant design principles and strategies, it ultimately proposes a vision for seamlessly integrating technological aids into urban life, with the aim of enriching urban living and providing valuable references for future endeavors.
