Introduction

Human Robot Interaction Curriculum
• Basics to robotics and programming
• Terrain Mapping
• Pet Replication

Designed for secondary education
and above
Technology

For humans by humans…
• Technology makes our lives easier
• Helps get tasks/goals completed

Everything from getting into space to
cleaning the floor.
Robotics
Automation is the key
 Repetitive tasks
 Incomparable precision
 Artificial intelligence is rapidly
progressing
 The three D’s

• Dirty
• Dull
• Dangerous
The Interaction


With increasing robotic technology,
the need to bridge the gap between
humans and robots also increases.
Need for basic understanding of
robotic principles, control, and
application.
Human Robot Interaction
Curriculum

Build a core foundation of robotic
principles
• Engineering Design Process
• Creative and Critical Thinking
• Robotic Technologies
• Programming
• Sensor Incorporation

Application of Core…
• Develop an understanding for how
robotics are used.
• Be able to use what was learned and
apply to real life engineering situations.

Terrain Mapping with robots
• Applied in situations where humans lack
the precision and/or the environmental
sustainability to properly carry out the
procedure.
• e.g. Mars

Pet Replication with robots
• Design of pet behavior replication
• Using more advanced programming
theories to produce “AI” type results
• Random motions and reaction to stimuli.
IRobot Create
Based off the IRobot Roomba
 Fully programmable robot

• Variety of sensors

“Bump”, Infrared, “Cliff”, Wheel drop
• All Movements can be controlled

Perfect tool for application of a basic
robotics’ curriculum
Programming Language

JAVA
• Straight forward
• Easy to use and learn

Used to set up basic libraries specific
for the Create.
Final Product
A curriculum that teaches the basics
of robotics and the application of the
technology and theories used
 Allows for the understanding of how
humans and robots interact
 Allows for students to gain an
interest in science in technology
