CPATH CB: Social Robotics

该团队建议使用社会机器人作为一种机制来提供振兴的计算机科学(CS)教育。机器人是一个极好的平台，让学生学习关键的CS概念，开始编程并获得即时反馈，并了解硬件和软件，以及两者之间的相互作用。机器人学对学生、学者和普通公众都有广泛的吸引力。社交机器人是通过遵守与其角色相关的社会规则来与人类互动和交流的机器人。角色及其规则是通过社会来定义的。例如，机器人服务员必须遵守提供优质服务的既定规则。它应该是预见性的、可靠的，最重要的是谨慎。社交机器人必须意识到这些规则并遵守它们。社交机器人的进化有很多方面，除了传统的计算机科学和工程原理之外，还需要借鉴设计、心理学、认知科学、通信和哲学的元素，并与之相协调。多所学校的团队计划利用这一提议，在纽约州北部的首府地区建立一个社会机器人利益相关者社区。除了计划的定期会议以及收集和收集信息外，他们还将在当地的一个公共博物馆举办四个公开研讨会，将利益相关者与学者、学生、来自行业的代表和公众聚集在一起，概述一个社会机器人项目。该计划的中心目标是设计替代的进入和通过社会机器人课程的机制，旨在使具有广泛技能和兴趣的学生能够互动。这两种机制都是计划的，即吸引学生进入计算机科学课程，以及推动机制，以传达其他专业的关键概念。该计划利用了首都地区的学校和大学之间的合作，因为没有一所学校是提供这种教育的理想地点。这项提议的结果将是一项在社会机器人领域实施计划的计划，该计划可以在当地和全国范围内实施。

The Team proposes to use Social Robotics as a mechanism to deliver a revitalized Computer Science (CS) education. Robots are a fantastic platform for students to learn key CS concepts, begin to program and get immediate feedback, and to learn about both hardware and software, and the interplay between the two. Robotics has a widespread base of appeal to students, academics and the general public alike. A Social Robot is one that interacts and communicates with humans by following the social rules attached to its role. The role and its rules are defined through society. For example, a robotic waiter would have to comply with established rules of good service. It should be anticipating, reliable and most of all discreet. A social robot must be aware of these rules and comply with them. There are many aspects to the evolution of Social Robots, which need to draw on elements of Design, Psychology, Cognitive Science, Communication and Philosophy in addition to, and in harmony with, traditional Computer Science and Engineering principles. The multi-school team plans to use this proposal to build a community of stakeholders in Social Robotics in the Capital Region of upstate New York. On top of planned regular meetings, and the gathering and collection of information, they will hold four open workshops at a local public Museum, to bring together the stakeholders with academics, students, and representatives from industry and members of the public, to outline a program in Social Robotics. The central aim of the program is to design alternative mechanisms of entry into, and routes through, a Social Robotics curriculum designed to enable students with a wide variety of skills and interests to interact. Both Pull mechanisms, drawing students into a Computer Science program and Push mechanisms, to deliver key concepts in other majors are planned. This plan leverages the collaboration of schools and colleges in the Capital region, as no one school is ideally placed to deliver such an education. The outcome of this proposal will be a plan of implementing a program in Social robotics, which can be implemented both locally, and nationally.
