CPS 421 - Project Design Lab F

Semester Hours: 3
This class will center on student research that will explore the relationships between humans and humanoid robots using larger advanced humanoid robots specifically designed for human-computer interaction. This lab-based course provides an overview and introduction to the field of human-computer interaction, with an emphasis on humanoids and other robots. It introduces students to tools, techniques, and sources of information about HCI and provides a systematic approach to design. Students will learn the fundamental concepts of human-computer interaction and user centered design thinking, through working in teams on an interaction design project, supported by lectures, readings, and discussions. Students will practice HCI techniques in an independent, self-defined project.
