Abstract
An intelligent toilet was an upgrade product on the ordinary toilet, with all the functions of a common toilet combined with automatic flushing, seat ring heating, hip cleaning, female cleaning and drying with warm air and so on, which attracts the researchers’ interests recently. In the past, there are rarely few user comfort researches about intelligent toilet based on ergonomics. This study focuses on the research method of ergonomics to explore the comfort design of the intelligent toilet from user experience.
