Designing Humanity Centered Robots

Offered this year and occasionally

Fall 2024

This semester we will explore how emerging technologies might shape our lives in the near future, as we design and build working prototypes. We will proceed from a set of questions that will complement a deep immersion in design process and creative practice. We will explore the “how” and “why” of designing new technologies. The course will help students build a portfolio of design projects that are in response to various design strategies such as Human Centered Design, Speculative Design, Critical Design, and Design Fiction, as well as developing skills for iterative prototyping and participatory critique.
