In a warehouse? At home? • Physical? Sensory? ManipulaZve? • • • In a human-centric environment? • Humanlike? Intelligent? What else? • • • Robotics is what happens when computers become physical agents – gain the ability to sense the world (see, hear, etc.), interact physically with objects and people, and operate in the physical environment as well as the virtual world. 1
2/5/19 Goals of This Course Class Structure Understand HRI • This is mostly a seminar class • What is the field about? • Reading and discussing research papers the H and the R • Why is it important? • Per lecture: • This is a lot of reading! Introduce (some of) the huge range of current HRI • Read ~2 papers • research One person will sign up to present and lead discussion • Gain experience conducZng HRI research • Everyone will read and discuss • Learn to idenZfy HRI problems in your own research • Journal about papers and topics • Find out whether HRI and roboZcs are for you • No exams One semester-long project • • Thinking, implemenZng, wriZng, and presenZng • Project milestones are the only assignments • Journals The Schedule One entry per person, per topic (lecture) • You will visit these every class: • Post on the Piazza thread: • Zny.cc/hri-sched • Zny.cc/hri-piazza 1. Read the papers Read these and 2. Read the thread so far post before that 3.
