In this course, we address these challenges, providing insight into computational models, design approaches, user experience and connected ELSE aspects of human-robot collaboration and hybrid intelligence. The topics of the course include the following: Agreement technologies: computational models for regulating and increasing the effectiveness of societies of interacting software agents centred around the notion of ‘agreement’ for example about which course of action to take. Including: normative multiagent systems, argumentation frameworks, and ontology alignment approaches. Human-machine alignment: how can we ensure that robots and other AI applications behave in alignment with human and societal needs and values? Including: responsible AI, value alignment, and shared mental models. Human-agent/robot teamwork (HART): how can we make automation a team player? Including: autonomy-centred approaches to HART, such as adjustable autonomy and shared control, and coactive design which is centred around human-machine interdependence.  Social robotics: how to create socially intelligent robots? Including: socially normative robot behaviour, cross-cultural design, user modelling Participating study Master Robotics Participating study Master Interaction Technology Required materials Articles Selected papers Recommended materials - Instructional modes Lecture Presence duty Yes Presentation(s) Presence duty Yes Project supervised Presence duty Yes Tests Assignments, presentation Close Help Print
