Advanced Computational Human-Robot Interaction

3 credits · College of Engineering catalogue

Advisory Prerequisite: Background in math (ROB 101, ROB 201, or equivalent), programming (ROB 102 or equivalent), and human-robot systems (ROB 204, ROB 340). Enforced Prerequisite: Graduate standing. Credit Exclusions: Only one course may earn credit from ROB 440 and ROB 540. (3 credits) Computational techniques that enable robots to work with and around people. Topics include estimation, planning, control, and learning algorithms discussed in the context of applications like social navigation, physical collaboration, and assistive robotics. Students get hands-on experience on algorithm development and evaluation through simulation-based assignments, exposure to the state-of-the-art through paper presentations, and introduction to computational HRI system design through an open-ended project.
