    This is a core Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) class. It provides fundamental core material in signal processing, machine learning, and feedback control. However, the material is not presented in a traditional manner and does not replace deep domain expertise in these topics. Rather, the principles and skills taught in this class highlight the intersection of the cyber and the physical.

    Interactions between robots and humans are influenced by form, function and expectations. Quantitative techniques evaluate performance of specific tasks and functions. Qualitative techniques are used to evaluate the interaction and to understand expectations and perceptions of the human side of the interaction. Students use humanoid robots to develop and evaluate interactions within a specific application context.
