3. Smart Cities & HRI
The demand for city living is already high, and it appears that this trend will continue. According to the United Nations World Cities Report, by 2050, more than 70% of the world's population will be living and working in cities — one of many reports predicting that cities will play an important role in our future (UN-Habitat, 2022). Thus, as cities are growing in size and scope, it is shaped into complex urban landscape where things, data, and people interact with each other. Everything and everyone has become so connected that Wifi too often fails to meet digital needs, online orders don't arrive fast enough, traffic jams still clog the roads and environmental pollution still weighs on cities. New technologies, technical intelligence, and robots can contribute to the direction of finding solutions to ever-increasing problems and assist the evolution of the growing urban space.

Human-Robot Interaction
About Lesson

So far, we have covered the design of robots that involves the collaboration of experts from various fields, working together to create a product that considers the users and the interaction context. Additionally, we covered the concept of robot’s anthropomorphism which is a crucial aspect of designing contemporary human-robot interaction.

Now its time to work on the exercises and after successfully finish them, to do the quiz.
