This course focuses on the mathematical and algorithmic tools that allow us to design and control robots that interact with people and gives an overview of what is require for guaranteeing safety in interactive settings on physical systems. Topics include advanced robotics, levels of autonomy, decision making and control, artificial intelligence, human-in-the-loop control, and human-robot interaction. Students will practice essential research skills including critiquing papers, debating, reviewing, writing project proposals, and presenting ideas effectively. Prerequisites:Graduate standing; An introductory robotics course (e.g., ECE470 (Introduction to Robotics), ABE424 (Principles of Mobile Robotics), ECE484 (Principles of Safe Autonomy)); ECE448/CS440 (Introduction to Artificial Intelligence) or equivalent; familiarity with controls (e.g., ECE515) and optimization (e.g., ECE490) is recommended, but not required
