Course Details
• Advanced Robot-Human Interaction: Understanding the nuances of human emotions and communication is crucial when designing robots that can exhibit empathy. This unit will delve into the complexities of human emotions, social cues, and non-verbal communication to inform the design and development of robots that can interact authentically with humans. • Empathetic AI Algorithms: This unit will explore various AI algorithms that can be used to create empathetic robots, focusing on machine learning, natural language processing, and affective computing. Students will learn how to program robots to recognize, interpret, and respond appropriately to human emotions. • Sensor Technology for Empathetic Robots: In this unit, students will learn about the different sensors and technologies that can be used to enable empathetic robots to perceive and interpret human emotions. Topics may include facial expression recognition, voice tone analysis, and bio-sensing technologies. • Ethical Considerations in Robot-Assisted Empathy: As with any technology that deals with human emotions, there are ethical considerations that must be taken into account when designing and developing empathetic robots. This unit will explore the ethical implications of using robot-assisted empathy, including issues related to privacy, consent, and the potential for misuse. • Designing Empathetic Robots for Specific Applications: This unit will focus on the practical applications of empathetic robots in various fields, such as healthcare, education, and customer service. Students will learn how to design and develop robots that can provide emotional support, companionship, and assistance in these contexts. • Prototyping and Testing Empathetic Robots: In this unit, students will learn about the various prototyping and testing methods that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of empathetic robots. Topics may include user testing, pilot studies, and iterative design processes. • Human-Robot Interaction Theory: This unit will provide an overview of the various theories and frameworks that inform human-robot interaction, including social psychology, communication theory, and cognitive science. Students will learn how to apply these theories to the design and development of empathetic robots. • Robot Emotion Expression: This unit will explore the various methods and techniques that can be used to enable robots
