Human Robot Interaction Design

Human Robot Interaction Design is a free, self-paced learning path in Engineering & Robotics, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to identify core principles of human robot interaction design; trace the evolution of robotic design paradigms; examine social cues within robotic systems.
