Robotic football: Developing engineering leaders through competition

July 1, 2021 by Sami Khorbotly and Craig Goehler

Design is a fundamental component in various engineering curricula. Programs across the nation teach this component via design projects in different courses, culminating in a capstone design course in the final year. While these projects may achieve the goal of teaching the use of mathematics and sciences to meet design objectives and constraints, they are limited in terms of … [Read more...] about Robotic football: Developing engineering leaders through competition

Characteristics of social robots: A framework for development

Social robots hold great promise for assisting both older adults with dementia and those in good health. Yet, little is known about how people want to interact with these robots. This article introduces a framework for the key features social robots should have, based on insights from a four-month study of how seniors engage with robots through conversation and interaction. We have broken these features down into principles of robot behavior, verbal communication, and nonverbal communication, while also considering factors that affect a person’s likelihood to adopt such technology. Our findings offer a starting point for refining social robots and & developing features that truly resonate with users.
