In 2020, I designed the course CMSC 20630/30630 Human-Robot Interaction: Research and Practice as a hands-on introduction to human-robot interaction (HRI) research for both undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Chicago. Since 2020, I have taught and refined this course each academic year. Human-Robot Interaction: Research and Practice focuses on the core concepts and cutting-edge research in the field of human-robot interaction (HRI), covering topics that include: nonverbal robot behavior, verbal robot behavior, social dynamics, norms & ethics, collaboration & learning, group interactions, applications, and future challenges of HRI. Course meetings involve students in the class leading discussions about cutting-edge peer-reviewed research HRI publications. Students also participate in a quarter-long collaborative research project, where they pursue an HRI research question that often involves conducing their own human-subjects research study where they recruit human subjects to interact with a robot. In this paper, I detail the structure of the course and its learning goals as well as my reflections and student feedback on the course.

翻译：2020年，我为芝加哥大学本科生与研究生设计了CMSC 20630/30630“人机交互：研究与实践”课程，作为人机交互研究的实践性入门课程。自2020年起，我每年都教授并完善该课程。本课程聚焦于人机交互领域的核心概念与前沿研究，涵盖非语言机器人行为、语言机器人行为、社会动态、规范与伦理、协作与学习、群体互动、应用及未来挑战等主题。课堂研讨中，学生主导讨论同行评审的前沿人机交互研究文献。学生还需参与为期一学期的协作研究项目，围绕人机交互研究问题开展实验，通常涉及招募受试者与机器人互动的自主人类被试研究。本文将详述课程结构与学习目标，并结合个人反思与学生反馈进行总结。
