Advanced Topics in Mobile Robotics and Human-Machine Interaction

This course provides an introduction to robotic systems and human interaction methods with such sys-tems from a computational perspective. In this course students will learn about the definitional problems for robotics with a human-centric flavor, and look at how they are being solved in practice and by the research community. The emphasis is on algorithms, inference mechanisms and behavior strategies al-though we will also survey the kinds of mechanical and electronic systems that constitute a robot today
