Key Summary
About: The Tufts University School of Engineering offers an M.S. in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) across Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The interdisciplinary program draws on computer science, engineering, psychology, philosophy, anthropology and law. Students share five required core courses; other departmental requirements vary. Keywords: robotics, autonomous systems, human-centered design, machine learning, ethics.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles such as robotics engineer, HRI researcher, human-factors engineer, autonomy systems engineer, robotics UX designer, policy or ethics consultant, or academic researcher and roles in industry, tech startups, government agencies, research labs, focusing on design, evaluation and deployment.
As intelligent autonomous robots increasingly become part of our lives, the field of human-robot interaction seeks to understand and improve all aspects of interactions between humans and robots.
Human-Robot Interaction is an interdisciplinary effort aimed at understanding and improving all aspects of interactions between humans and robots. It draws on knowledge from computer science, mechanical and electrical engineering, as well as psychology, philosophy, anthropology, legal fields, among various others.
Cutting across the engineering and social sciences, human-robot interaction research is a paradigmatic multi- and inter-disciplinary program with enormous future societal benefits.
