In this mini-course at the intersection of world literature, the history of robotics, and cognitive science, Dr. Monica Lopez-Gonzalez (A&S ’05, ’07, ’10) will lead an exploration of the changing face of the humanoid robot and its societal consequences through selections of fictional narratives (the short story, novel, and theatrical play) from the eighteen hundreds to today. Merging empirical fact with creative fiction, you will also get a chance to unleash your imagination and write and/or share ideas of your very own short story, one-act theatrical play, or poetry.
