Description

Human-robot interaction (HRI) is an active field of research. For successful HRI, knowledge and methods from various research directions have to be combined: the robot has to be able to recognise and track objects and persons in its environment, it needs to be able to understand utterances by its human partner, and it needs to be able to generate appropriate verbal and nonverbal responses to the human. This seminar gives a general overview of the challenges that arise in HRI and shows methods to solve these challenges.

Each participating student will have to prepare a 40 minute presentation, showing slides (PowerPoint, OpenOffice Impress, PDF) and presenting one of the above topics. The presentation needs to be presented to the seminar supervisors one week before the actual presentation date. Presentations can be held in either German or English.

Additionally, the presenters need to write a summary of their talk. The resulting document should be between 10 and 20 pages long and needs to be sent as a PDF document to the supervisors.

Besides the presentation and the written summary, the students have to be present at all seminar dates to successfully participate in the seminar.
