YOUSE GmbH
Description
YOUSE accompanies innovation development from the perspective of users - from the first idea to the endurance test. The company puts a focus on highly complex developments - e.g. in health & care, but also in industry (automation, robotics, SmartHome, SmartCity). Typical activities include requirements analysis, design thinking, business model development and analysis of ethical implications. YOUSE was founded in 2009 in Berlin and consists of a truly interdisciplinary team - from engineer to sociologist, from psychologist to designer - and is always close to the customer - with offices in Berlin, Munich and Stuttgart.

Robot-Era
Description
Robots have the potential to make our lives safer, more comfortable and healthier - but only if the wishes and fears of users are considered during development. But how does a robot have to be designed? What should it do, what not and how should it behave? YOUSE develops and manages the entire user-centric innovation process - from analysis of users' daily routines, to conducting field tests in Italian villages and Swedish housing, to developing business models and marketing approaches. Last but not least, YOUSE does investigate ethical influences (ELSI) of the use of robots.
