HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION

Catalog description

(Slashed with CS 43334 and CS 53334 ) Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is the study of interactions between humans and robots dedicated to understanding, designing, and evaluating robotic systems for use by and with humans. HRI is a multidisciplinary field that incorporates human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, robotics, natural language understanding, design, and social sciences. Interaction between humans and robots may take several forms, but are generally categorized by how close in proximity the humans and robots are to each other such as remote, proximate, and hybrid interaction. In the class, students will learn the fundamental technologies and theories in each category, and blend this knowledge with various case studies and lab activities.
