CS 777 - Robotics For Humanity

(3 units)

We live in a changing world where technology is being used to address large social issues. Robotics can be used in home, healthcare, and education settings. Socially Assistive Robotics (SAR), develops robots to help people primarily through social interaction. This is an exciting and growing area of research that has the potential to address some of the looming healthcare and education crises on the horizon. This class prepares students to develop and evaluate SAR systems.
