Plenary Lecture by Christoph Bartneck (University of Canterbury)
Thursday, September 29th, 2016, 8:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m., Audimax, TU Darmstadt
Physical interaction is the defining attribute for human-robot interaction. The haptic qualities of a robot are essential for its success. A robot must feel right. Currently robot developers design from the inside out. They first develop the robot’s interior before adding a shell around it.
While this approach might be suitable for industrial application, it does not fit the requirements for human-robot interaction. We need to design robots from the outside in. First we need to design its appearance and haptic attributes. The material challenges are to develop materials that feel right for a robot. This often means hiding a hard core in a soft shell. This talk tries to define parameters for the materials used in human-robot interaction.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
