Human robot interaction (HRI) is a multidisciplinary research domain that investigates the issues involved with smooth integration of robots in the human society. This course will discuss the evolution of HRI research over the past two decades with an emphasis on HRI algorithms that promote safe, meaningful, and goal-oriented human-robot interactions. Topics also include experimental design methodologies commonly used in HRI studies. Prereq: CS 830 or CS 833 or CS 850 or instructor's permission.
