Abstract

Robotics, robotic processes, artificial intelligence and machine learning are concepts that create uncertainty among people. Technological expansion influences the preconceived, adverse feelings of dislike that users are harboring. This uncertainty influences the acceptance of software robots that are implemented in systems used by employees. This may also be the case regarding the interaction of banking employees with automated information systems used to perform their daily work activities. It is against this background that a framework for interaction design is required. Such a framework could guide designers to consider employed users and establish a positive, accepting interaction. Due to the lack of existing interaction design frameworks aimed at addressing the implementation of software robots, the study aims to answer the question: Which core components will contribute to a framework that will guide the interaction design of a software robotic system in the banking sector? An initial systematic review approach was performed to identify the influence of robotics on user experience. This literature review has identified principles in other industries that were pulled through to financial institutions. This study contributes to filling the gap in academic knowledge by exploring related literature to identify and evaluate applicable principles and integrating these into a new synthesized framework. The result of the study is a new framework called an interaction design dome. The dome can be used to guide software robot design and development from a human-computer interaction viewpoint, with specific reference to the financial sector.
