The course focuses on human-centered robotics: humanoid robots and human-robot interaction. Motivated by the vision of robot companions in our homes, this course introduces humanoid robot technology and its specific challenges and opportunities: (i) design, kinematics and inverse kinematics of humanoids, (ii) multimodal sensing - vision, touch, hearing, inertial sensing, etc., (iii) walking and balancing, and (ii) grasping. The second part of the course centers on human-robot interaction (HRI), which includes physical HRI (safety aspects, collaborative robots) and cognitive/social HRI - how to design robots and behaviors to be acceptable for people.Course outlines:
| 1. | Humanoid robots - motivation and history. | |
| 2. | Humanoids - Design, Forward kinematics, Closed-form inverse kinematics. | |
| 3. | Humanoids - Differential Kinematics, Inverse diff. kinematics, Singularities, Manipulability, Gaze control. | |
| 4. | Live demos. | |
| 5. | Multi-modal sensing and calibration. | |
| 6. | Grasping. | |
| 7. | Walking and balancing. | |
| 8. | Human-robot interaction: introduction, physical and social interaction. | |
| 9. | Physical interaction I: Legislation and standards. Speed and separation monitoring. | |
| 10. | Physical interaction II: Human injury. Impact modeling. Power and force limiting. | |
| 11. | Social interaction I. | |
| 12. | Social interaction II. | |
| 13. | Reactive motion control and planning for human-populated environments. | |
| 14. | Embodied AI, baby humanoids, learning brain-like robot body models. |
