Evaluating Requirements for Teaching University Students About Human-Robot Interaction
摘要
Nowadays, it’s hard to imagine industrial service sectors without robots in general, and direct human interaction with them in particular. This trend is increasingly extending to the private sector. As a result, the design of this human-robot interaction is becoming increasingly important. To ensure that these interactions are designed appropriately, students must receive suitable education in courses that cover all important aspects of robotics and related fields. In the past, Güntert et al. have already identified the needs and requirements for an introductory course in robotics. In addition, an initial curriculum has already been developed. As part of this study, the identified needs and the developed curriculum were evaluated using a questionnaire answered by 21 graduates of a course in robotics. The results provide valuable insights into the views of the students as the primary audience for the course and deliver important findings that can help with the future development of such a course. Prioritization of the user and stakeholder needs has expanded and enriched the results from the original study and allowed specific focus points to be set for the design of the course. Further evaluations in conjunction with other user groups will provide valuable information in the future.
