Overview
What does the future look like in a world where robots provide support and care to older people, drive public transport, work alongside us in health and manufacturing settings, or greet us at a restaurant? Distinct from industrial robots, collaborative robots are uniquely designed to be easy to use and safe for people to work with. The ways in which collaborative robots are designed, used, and adopted can have significant impact on future societies.
In this unit we will focus on physical robots that interact with people. We will design and evaluate collaborative robot concepts in response to real world challenges and examine their impact on people and robot collaboration. We will imagine what an ethical, sustainable, and socially just future could look like where people and robots work together in relation to your future career. In doing so you will be better equipped to engage with and critique the role that collaborative robots might have in your life.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Analyse and reflect on the opportunities and challenges that collaborative robots can bring to the future of your personal and professional communities.
- Design and prototype new collaborative robot concepts to address real world challenges and explore their implications for social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
Content
In this unit, we will introduce you to the following concepts:
- The creative use of collaborative robots in a range of applications and disciplines such as health, design, education, engineering, science, and business.
- Current and emerging critical needs and technologies in human robot collaboration.
- The impact of collaborative robots on the future of the human workforce.
- How people and robots interact and collaborate for common purposes.
- The ethical implications of collaborative robots in how we live, learn, play, and work.
- Collaborative robots and sustainability (e.g. designing for circularity)
We will engage with frameworks from research and practice that will allow us to both evaluate and design human robot collaborative activity, in a range of contexts and application domains.
Learning Approaches
Experiential learning is at the core of this unit. During weekly 2 hour workshops, we will critically engage with the issue of human-robot collaboration through a range of active learning approaches, including role-play, simulation, and hands-on design. Through these experiences, as well as the online resources (e.g. videos and readings) and activities (e.g. discussions), we will reflect on and experiment with the ways in which design features can significantly affect our interaction and engagement with collaborative robots. We will also engage in debates about the social and ethical impact of collaborative robots, exploring the different roles that our disciplines can play in making collaborative robots a force for positive rather than negative social change.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You will receive formative feedback from teaching staff and your peers during workshops as well as by engaging in the online learning resources. There will also be opportunity during the workshop for you to receive peer and informal teaching staff feedback on early iterations of your collaborative robot concept design. The workshop activities and assessment will encourage you to actively reflect on your personal and professional identities in relation to collaborative robots.
Assessment
Overview
You will research and investigate a real world challenge and design a collaborative robot concept that seeks to address that challenge. You will consider the concept design from different disciplinary perspectives, including engineering, business, health, design and science, to consider how your proposed concept can support our achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. As part of your proposed concept design, you will also reflect on your evolving understanding of collaborative robots, including their use, applications, and impact within your professional and personal communities as well as in broader society.
Unit Grading Scheme
S (Satisfactory) / U (Unsatisfactory)
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Collaborative Robot Concept Design
You will evaluate a real-world challenge and design a collaborative robot concept that makes a positive social contribution and supports our achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. You will also reflect on your evolving understanding of collaborative robots, including their use, applications, and impact.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
