The aim of this course is to provide students with basic information about human-robot interaction and to gain the necessary skills to follow current research and developments in this field. Students will develop their knowledge and skills in topics such as understanding the interaction process between humans and robots, observing human needs and behaviors, and applying the principles of interaction design and user experience.
This course covers basic concepts, theoretical models, design principles and practical applications in the field of human-robot interaction. The following titles represent the main summary content of the course. Definition and Importance of Human-Robot Interaction: Explaining the concept of human-robot interaction, Importance of human-robot interaction and application areas Human Behavior and Human-Centered Design: Observation and analysis of human behavior, Determination of human needs and integration into the design process, Human-centered design principles Perception and Sensor Technologies: Basic principles of human perception, Environmental sensors and technologies, Robotic systems that mimic human perception Human Robot Communication: Verbal and nonverbal communication methods, Communication interfaces and interface design Communication challenges and solutions Motion Control and Human Robot Mapping: Robot motion and control, Human robot matching methods, Effect of motion control on user experience Interaction Design and User Experience: Basic principles of interaction design, User interface design and prototyping, User experience evaluation methods
