Abstract
Customer participation design plays an important role in achieving high degree of customization. Complex product such as robot has complicated structure and strong professionalism, the design is hard for users who are lack of professional knowledge. So an industrial robot design template is proposed. Base on composition structure of robot, four elements of the template are analysed. According to relationships and interactions among the four, the design template is established to guide users with a simple design method. This study provides references for the design of other complex products.
