This course focuses on the human-centered design, engineering, and evaluation of social robots through a variety of interaction design and behavioral research techniques. The course framework is rooted in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), an interdisciplinary field investigating how robots interact with people in a social world. Please note that "robot" here is a broad concept referring to cyber-physical artifacts with a certain level of autonomy (e.g., capable of physical movements or reconfigurations or both) including non-humanoids, robotic furnishings, cyber-physical installations/spaces, and many more. Students will go through a variety of in-class and after-class activities to grasp the essence of the HRI design and research methods that will be introduced during the class. These methods can also pave a solid path for students who would like to pursue future careers related to UX or IxD no matter in industry or academia.
