This $300,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), supports a visioning initiative to define the future of design for human-robot interaction (HRI). The primary awardee, the Regents of the University of Michigan, will lead a series of design workshops and activities to conceptualize the design methodologies, tools, and evaluation strategies needed to create interactive robots. The resulting "Interdisciplinary Technology Visioning Toolkit" and a documentary on the design retreat will be publicly released to proliferate education on this topic. A subaward to Purdue University will support specific visioning activities, including workshops on metaphors, design fiction, and roadmapping to help map the future direction of design for HRI. The key outcomes aim to build the HRI design community, generate open-access design resources, and publish findings in relevant research areas.
