Study planning via TUMonline
Please use TUMOnline primarily for your study planning. Lecture times and rooms, as well as registration for courses and exams, can only be found there. The courses presented here are intended primarily as an overview of the chair's offerings.
Registration for courses
We recommend that you register for each lecture via TUMonline! For courses with limited enrollment (usually practical courses), you must register via TUMonline during the registration period.
Registration and deregistration for exams
All students must adhere to the registration and deregistration deadlines of the TUM School of Engineering and Design. Registration is also required for participation in make-up exams in the following semester.

Inhaltliche Voraussetzungen
Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, psychology, industrial design, computer science, robotics or comparable courses. Previous participation in ergonomics lectures is recommended, e.g. product ergonomics, human reliability, or ergonomics.
Lehr- und Lernmethoden
The module takes place in the form of a seminar. Interactive presentations (e.g., in Miró) are used to explain the basics of the research field of HRI. This serves to familiarize students with technical terms in the field. In addition, students learn about application fields of HRI with concrete examples by means of frontal knowledge transfer by the lecturers.
In addition, students work together in groups and prepare a seminar session on a given topic, such as "HRI in healthcare", based on provided and self-researched current literature. Subsequently, in a corresponding session, the topic will be presented by the student group and a discussion round will be held. This may include a workshop, a live demonstration using a robotic platform, or small-group breakout sessions. Thereby, students learn to critically analyze research papers and scientific studies and to subsequently be able to present the state of research to others in an appropriate form. In addition, students learn to prepare and lead a scientific group discussion.
By working with relevant literature in the context of an essay, students will learn to evaluate critical and controversial topics in HRI using scientific criteria and frameworks.
Methods used: Knowledge transfer, presentations, discussion rounds, group work.

Studien-, Prüfungsleistung
The module examination consists of multiple parts:
1) A presentation (25%) including a subsequent discussion/workshop (25%) will be prepared and held by student groups. The session's topic will be based on provided and independently researched literature in the field of HRI. By this, students will prove their ability to understand common terminologies and concepts in HRI as well as their ability to analyze opposing approaches and theories in HRI research.
2) An essay (3000 - 4000 words; 50%) will be written by each student related to the topic of the respective presentation and discussion topic. Thereby, students are tested regarding their ability to evaluate a specific topic in HRI.
