Abstract

This research seeks to investigate the design of interaction mechanisms and user interfaces for a future Autonomous Internet of Things (A-IoT). Recent studies examining the real-world acceptance of a IoT systems (e.g smart thermostat) highlighted how errors, limited legibility, lack of accountability of the ownership, intent and excessive user expectations caused frustration and abandoning of the technology. These findings suggest that the design of A-IoT systems needs to address several challenges to be made accountable; including, on the system side, designing autonomous decision-making to take into account the uncertain nature of contingent human behaviour; and on the user side, the need to make these systems legible and usable in everyday life. Our goal is thus to establish the scientific underpinnings of user interactions with A-IoT systems, in a domestic everyday context, with the aim of elucidate the aforementioned challenges.
