To effectively improve the efficiency of international service design talent training and make it more in line with society's needs, we analyze the current status of international service design talent training and its professional training focus. Based on the above problems, from the perspective of cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence and human–computer interaction (HCI) technology are used to construct the international service design talent training mode of the HCI intelligent service robot. This mode can be used to solve the existing teaching problems by using novel means to ensure the quality of teaching. Finally, through the actual analysis of teaching cases, the effectiveness of the proposed talent training mode is verified. The HCI system is based on knowledge of cognitive psychology. According to the characteristics and functions of an educational robot, the robot is combined with traditional teaching activities, and the robot-assisted talent training mode is designed. Robot-assisted talent training is a feasible training method that can improve the efficiency of talent training. Students have confidence in their learning skills before the course, and the confidence is further strengthened after the end of the course. After the course, the students have a stronger sense of cooperation. This study can provide theoretical ideas for the research of international service talent training mode.

Study methods · source passage

The international service design talent training mode in domestic colleges and universities is still in the pipeline. University education is a highly specialized semi-closed teaching method. On the one hand, teaching is open to factories and enterprises, emphasizing practical teaching and teaching practice. On the other hand, the self-closing and automation mode of different discipline systems in schools begins to emphasize general education on the basis of professional education. The university's teaching of different departments and disciplines begins to move toward limited opening, forming a new era of semi-open talent training (Yu and Sangiorgi, 2018). With the development and change of economy, the content of service design is also different. The development of a service-oriented economy has experienced the following stages, as shown in Figure 1.

Limitations and uncertainty · source passage

(1) Curriculum design: A total of 16 robot experiments are carried out for 36 class hours. The research is mainly based on the theme project of international service design. Due to the limitation of teaching space and experimental equipment and the large number of students (41 in total) selecting this course, the course is taught in batches; 41 students are divided into groups according to the diversified and voluntary combination rules. There are 10 groups with 3–4 people in each group and 3–4 groups in each batch with 3 batches. The teaching activities of the teaching project are designed and implemented according to the three parts of the robot teaching activity design model. The teaching site is in the teacher's laboratory, which can only accommodate 10 people each time for teaching. The experimental site and experimental equipment are limited so students are required to carry personal notebook computers, which not only solves the problem of insufficient resources but also facilitates students' learning after class. The software and equipment related to the experiment are provided or prepared by the teaching assistant after class.

Design the system before the pilot

Compare the embodied interaction with an equivalent human-led or screen-based activity. Separate the effects of novelty and social presence from learning. Review physical access, sensory needs and adult supervision.

  • Specify a measurable learning objective, a comparator and a task without tool assistance before adopting a system.

A 90-day district pilot

  1. Days 1–15 · Appraise. Have the curriculum lead and a teacher read the methods and limitations. Record the study design, sample, comparator, outcomes and evidence gaps. Define a local question that the study can help inform.
  2. Days 16–30 · Design. Treat the paper as background evidence until its population is verified in the full text. Do not assign an age-specific intervention or extend adult results to children. Name an accountable owner and set the baseline, success threshold and budget before implementation.
  3. Days 31–60 · Test. Start with a small voluntary cohort, preserve an accessible non-AI route and require teacher review. Use synthetic or de-identified examples; approve data handling and tool terms through district processes.
  4. Days 61–90 · Decide. Extract the participant ages or education stage, recruitment, task and comparator before selecting a local pilot. If these cannot be established, retain the paper for design discussion rather than age-band efficacy claims. Compare with baseline, document uncertainty and stop or revise if learning worsens, access is unequal or critical errors persist.

The board decision brief

Report the learning problem, evidence quality, participating population, total cost including review time, measured benefit, errors, access differences and remaining uncertainties. Make a dated recommendation to stop, revise or expand. A positive perception survey alone does not establish learning improvement.
