Course Time: Wednesdays from 10-1

From the first moment a human picked up a stick and attempted to knock down some food from an unreachable location, we have attempted to use technology to extend our influence in the world. This course will examine physical systems designed to extend the notion of human presence to remote locations. Topics may include Presence, Telepresence, Tele-robotics and Agency. The course is designed to provide students with a practical introduction to HRI that will involve the design and construction of working robotic systems designed to interact with remote environments.
