Robots in the Wild

3.0 credits · Graduate

Robot and automated systems often need to move in and around people. This technical and human-centered course surveys current physical, computation and sensing technologies that make mobile human robot interaction possible, and delves into key research problems in interaction, human modelling, and repair which are needed to tackle the grand challenge of mobile HRI. As part of this course, students will build working prototypes of mobile robots, and deploy them for study in human environments. The 5000-level version of this course focuses on platform development; the 6000-level version of this course focuses on the production of human participant research studies using mobile HRI.
