Abstract: Applying UCD principles into the robotics prototyping stage is seen as a paradigm shift as it integrates usability and user satisfaction and constant interaction with the systems. UCD integrates user needs in its iterative and participatory active design processes that will improve user interaction with robots across different applications. Taking into consideration the findings of 11 studies, this systematic review attempts to address the UCD principles integration into robotic prototyping practice, and recognizes six primary themes. Specifically, these include iterative design cycles, participatory design, usability engineering, available resources, user engagement issues and interdisciplinary communication issues. It should be noted, however, that while UCD has enjoyed laudable achievements, such as enhanced usability, enhanced ergonomics, and time to market, several challenges remain, such as resource constraints, absence of sufficient frameworks, and lack of the consideration of diverse user populations. This review provides insights to tackle those challenges and facilitate the worldwide implementation of UCD in robotic prototyping projects. For instance, the study focuses on context-sensitive prototyping, interdisciplinary collaboration architectures and time-based impact assessment.
