Human-Robot Interaction

3 Credits.

This course is designed to introduce graduate students to research methods and topics in human-robot interaction (HRI), an emerging research area focusing on the design and evaluation of interactions between humans and robotic technologies. Students will (1) learn design principles for building and research methods of evaluating interactive robot systems through lectures, readings, and assignments, (2) read and discuss relevant literature to gain sufficient knowledgeof various research topics in HRI, and (3) work on a substantial project that integrates the principles, methods, and knowledge learned in this course. Pre-req: EN.601.220 and EN.601.226 .
