Abstract
This paper presents the ARC hypotheses to explore the interplay between the three proposed properties of design issues variables. The investigation is based on the analysis of a set of meetings for the design of a robot developed at a Mechanical Engineering design consultancy. The approach has its application in the semantic analysis of the transcripts of thought sequences obtained from verbal reports. A closer look is given to critical design issues that emerged at the first meeting and how they evolved throughout the meetings.
Keywords: design variables, critical design, design of a robot
