Introduction  Human Robot Interaction Curriculum Basics to robotics and programmingBasics to robotics and programming Terrain MappingTerrain Mapping Pet ReplicationPet Replication  Designed for secondary education and above

Technology  For humans by humans… Technology makes our lives easierTechnology makes our lives easier Helps get tasks/goals completedHelps get tasks/goals completed  Everything from getting into space to cleaning the floor.

Robotics  Automation is the key  Repetitive tasks  Incomparable precision  Artificial intelligence is rapidly progressing  The three D’s DirtyDirty DullDull DangerousDangerous

The Interaction  With increasing robotic technology, the need to bridge the gap between humans and robots also increases.  Need for basic understanding of robotic principles, control, and application.

Human Robot Interaction Curriculum  Build a core foundation of robotic principles Engineering Design ProcessEngineering Design Process Creative and Critical ThinkingCreative and Critical Thinking Robotic TechnologiesRobotic Technologies ProgrammingProgramming Sensor IncorporationSensor Incorporation

 Application of Core… Develop an understanding for how robotics are used.Develop an understanding for how robotics are used. Be able to use what was learned and apply to real life engineering situations.Be able to use what was learned and apply to real life engineering situations.

 Terrain Mapping with robots Applied in situations where humans lack the precision and/or the environmental sustainability to properly carry out the procedure.Applied in situations where humans lack the precision and/or the environmental sustainability to properly carry out the procedure. e.g. Marse.g. Mars
