In this seminar we are going to cover different aspects of how to build
social robotics. In the first part of this seminar we will highlight
what social robots are, which capabilities and appearances they need to
have to elicit social behavior and where they can be deployed.
The second part of this seminar will be a hands-on session. We will
build a social robot from scratch using Lego Mindstorm Robots and
implement a BDI-Architecture, which controls the behavior of the robot.
The goal is to construct a robot with minimal social cues (e.g. a face
and motors to display happiness or sadness). Those emotions are
influences by the drives (or satisfaction of basic needs) of the robot
(i.e. sleep, hunger,food, thirst,warmth,social interaction) which in
turn lead to different behaviors of the robot.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
