u Autonomous? u Physical? u Human-friendly?

What is a Robot?

“A robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools,

• r specialized devices through variable programmed

motions for the performance of a variety of tasks.” (Robot Institute of America)

u Humanoid? u Sensory? u Intelligent? u Mobile? u Manipulative? u What else?

Alternate theory: 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.

Human-Robot Interaction

u So what do we expect from physical computers?

u In a factory? In a warehouse? On Mars? u In a human-centric environment?

u The changing newest face of robotics

8

Introductions

u What do you go by? u Department u Taking this class because… u Research interests

u If any

u Anything else we should know?

u E.g., “I am not a Honda Asimo”

I’m a Honda Asimo!

Goals of This Course

u Understand HRI

u What is the field about? u [Why] is it important?

u Introduce the huge range of current HRI research u Gain experience conducting HRI research

u Learn to identify HRI problems in your own research u Perform a project involving real human-robot interaction

u How we will accomplish that

u Paper reading/presentation/discussion u Project

the H and the R

• n to

bookkeeping...

10

u One semest

semester er-lon

• long project

roject

u Thinking, implementing, writing, and presenting

u Remainder of the course is research paper based u Per topic:

u 2-3 papers u One person will sign up to presen

resent and lea lead discu iscussion ssion

u Ever

eryon

• ne will read and discuss

u Posting and reading class forums, as specified u No exams, occasional small bookkeeping homeworks

Class Structure

11

u Do

• the

e rea readin ing

u Participate

u Participate act

ctiv ivel ely in class discussions

u Let other people participate, and listen attentively u Ask questions!

u Read and post to the forum as specified u Attend class regularly

u If you will miss class for a good reason (work commitment,

religious holiday, serious illness), drop me an email

Expectations

12 u I hate policing students, and I hope not to have to do so.

u But, it is extremely unfair to the other students, so…

u I take integrity very seriously.

u Fa

Fabrica ication ion: Fabricating sources or any other information in your assignments is academically dishonest.

u Aid

Aidin ing and abet ettin ing: Providing another student with answers, or helping them to cheat.

u Pla

lagia iarism ism: Using a source (for code, blocks of text, images, or designs) without appropriate citations and recognition.

u Cop

• pyin

ying: Using another student's work for an assignment, exam, or project without acknowledgment.

u You can do a LOT of collaboration in this class!

Academic Integrity

13

u Evaluation of human factors

u In-person or crowd-sourced user studies u Statistical analysis

u Novel HRI system

u Robot is doing something new and different u The “human” element can be environmental

u Pure research

u Active learning from human interaction

Samples of Project Types

MOST of these will occur on the actual robots – may require careful group selection!
