Description: This course is offered by Brown's Computer
Science department under the auspices of the Humanity Centered
Robotics Initiative. It is focused on the iterative design process and
how it can be used to develop robots for solving tasks that help
people. It will expose students to a suite of fabrication and
prototyping technologies sufficient for creating a functioning robotic
system.
Prerequisites: Permission of an instructor.
We will be studying, designing, and creating
telepresence
robots for use in the context of helping the elderly live more
independently.
