The course focuses on “human-centered robotics”: humanoid robots and human-robot interaction. Motivated by the vision of robot companions in our homes, this course introduces humanoid robot technology and its specific challenges and opportunities: (i) design, kinematics and inverse kinematics of humanoids, (ii) multimodal sensing - vision, touch, hearing, inertial sensing, etc., (iii) walking and balancing, and (ii) grasping. The second part of the course centers on human-robot interaction (HRI), which includes physical HRI (safety aspects, collaborative robots) and cognitive/social HRI - how to design robots and behaviors to be acceptable for people.
Ability to write computer programs in C++, Matlab, and Python. Basic knowledge of robot kinematics in the span of bachelor course B3B33ROB1.
The final assesment will be composed of two components: lab assignments and final exam.
50 points for homework (assignments during comp. labs)
Dates:
The final exam is worth 50 points. Minimum for a non-F grade is 20 points from the final exam.
