Service robots equipped with field autonomy are increasingly entering everyday lives taking on jobs that are dull, dirty and dangerous. As more and more of these robots are emerging in new application domains, it is imperative that their deployable field autonomy schemes are capable of seamless human-robot interactions. This course covers core theoretical and practical approaches to realising field autonomy in human-populated environments. Topics include design, verbal and non-verbal communication, spatial interaction, teaming, and applications. Students will work in teams to design, build and compete in a field autonomy challenge anchored to a niche real-world application, while learning about the foundational theory, methods, principles, and practices in human-robot interaction.
