Re-Designing Robots

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

"Re-Designing Robots" is a studio-based graduate course focused on building and deploying robots in real-world settings such as homes, workplaces, and public spaces. Students will work individually and collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams, incorporating perspectives from engineering, computer science, art, design, and social sciences. The course emphasizes critical examination of the societal roles and ethical implications of robotic technologies, encouraging students to ask not just how robots can function better, but how they can meaningfully and responsibly enhance human activities. Key topics include prototyping interactive robotic systems, video interaction analysis, and hands-on experimentation with physical robot prototypes. Through immersive, hands-on projects, students will develop the expertise to thoughtfully design robots that integrate seamlessly and responsibly into everyday life.
