Designing interactions with robots methods and perspectives

"Developing robots to interact with humans is a complex interdisciplinary effort. While engineering and social science perspectives on designing human-robot interactions are readily available, the body of knowledge and practices related to design, specifically interaction design, often remain tacit. Designing Interactions with Robots fills an important resource gap in the human-robot interaction (HRI) community, and acts as a guide to navigating design-specific methods, tools, and techniques. With contributions from the field's leading experts and rising pioneers, this collection presents state of the art knowledge and a range of design methods, tools, and techniques, which cover the various phases of an HRI project. This book is accessible to an interdisciplinary audience, and does not assume any design knowledge. It provides actionable resources whose efficacy have been tested and proven in existing research"--
