Human-Agent and Human-Robot Interaction
Our relationships with robots can be complicated. A healthcare robot can improve quality of life if used to provide support during rehab, but a delivery robot blocking a curb on a busy street is dangerous to someone who needs to get onto the sidewalk. And beyond just our physical interactions with robots, the psychology of human-robot interaction (HRI) explores how we perceive, interact with, and respond to robots.
Human-robot interaction is an interdisciplinary field, with elements of robotics, psychology, communication, collaboration, safety, usability, AI, and more.
