An MS in human-robot interaction (HRI) is offered through three departments: computer science, electrical and computer engineering, or mechanical engineering. Students in each department share a set of five required core courses, then focus on classes approved by their respective department. Learn about topics ranging from affective interfaces to digital signal processing to collaborative robotics.
