Description:

Autonomous (robotic) devices of all sorts – delivery robots, drones, taxis, cars, trucks, buses, and so on - are becoming increasingly present in our everyday urban environment. As these devices increase, the number and frequency of human-robot interactions will inevitably rise. How can/should we react to this new reality? In this studio we will explore non-verbal human-human communication and explicit, implicit, intentional, and unintentional cues. We will experiment, through both physical and digital prototyping, with how those insights and conventions might be translated onto robot-robot, robot-human, and human-robot communication. We will test those prototypes both in class and in the wider world to create meaningful, relatable and applicable human- robot interactions.
