Final Projects for CS 8803:Human Robot Interaction
A large portion of your grade will come from your final project, which will be done in groups of 2-4 people. The scale of project should reflect the size of the group. Potential class projects will be suggested early in the course, but students are encouraged to come up with their own projects related to their overall research interests. If you do not have a robot platform to work with, please speak with Prof. Thomaz about platforms in the Socially Intelligent Machines Lab that can be used for final projects.
Deadlines related to the final project will be assigned throughout the semester to create opportunities for you to get feedback from Prof. Thomaz and your classmates. Project proposals will be due at the end of January, and we will have a mid-term project critique near spring break.
Each group will present their project during the scheduled final exam time for this course. You will also create a webpage to document the project, and write a conference style paper. Your in-class presentation, the online material, and the paper will be considered when determining your grade for the project.
Two example final projects from Spring 2008:
-
Maya Cakmak, Chandan Dasgupta
-
“Engagement Strategies for Social Learning with the Pleo robot”
-
Colin Smith, Peng Zhou
