Product Design for Human-Robot Interaction

Participants of the Product Design for Human-Robot Interaction Master will have the unique opportunity to deal with robotics company projects, from brief to concept definition and product development by preparing the relevant technical documentation and a professional visual presentation. They will learn the principles of robotics and how to design a robot’s aesthetics while meeting functional and structural requirements to heighten users’ ability to trust and interact with robots and AI-powered machines. As robots spread across major business (and living) areas, with forecasts of adoption and investment growth, intelligent automata are envisioned to weave themselves into our daily lives. The presence of these robotic “companions”, including products, services and furnishings, raises an aesthetic question involving product design as a subject covering both projects and culture, enhancing robot performance with an emotional, relatable appeal.
