課程簡介Course Description

請注意：此門課程將以英語授課，所有的報告與討論也將以英文進行。
Note: This course will be taught in English. All presentations and discussions will also be conducted in English.

 

This project-based course focuses on the design and development of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and Human-AI Interaction (HAI). Students will engage in hands-on projects to conceptualize, prototype, and evaluate interactive systems such as conversational AI agents and performative robots. Students will explore design principles that enhance usability, functionality, and user experience (UX). The course emphasizes practical skills in designing for interaction while fostering creativity and critical thinking about the role of intelligent agents in our daily life and work settings.

    評量工具與策略、評分標準成效Evaluation Criteria

    The total score of 100 points will be distributed as follows:

    • Design Project 1 (30%)
    • Design Project 2 (20%)
    • Design Project 3 (30%)
      Details about the design projects will be announced in class.
      • For each design project, teams are required to submit a two-page design report detailing the design motivations and outcomes after the presentation.
      • At the end of the semester, teams should submit their final semester portfolio (a PDF document or a webpage).
         
    • Introducing Novel AI Agent or Robot Designs (20%)
      Each team must present 3-5 (exact number TBD) interesting AI agents or robot designs over the semester. These can include existing products (e.g., Japan’s “Big Clapper”) or design projects showcased at academic conferences like HRI, RO-MAN, or CHI. Presentations should meet the following criteria:
      • Duration: 5-8 minutes per presentation.
      • Frequency: Teams may present only 1 design per week.
