1. User interfaces and human-robot interaction by Vlad Nastasiu
2. Currently working as a webdeveloper for a small firm. College didn't help me much, so I quitted. Have an income using computers since high school.
3. 8 Characteristics Of Successful User Interfaces: Clear, Concise, Familiar, Responsive, Consistent, Attractive, Efficient, Forgiving
4. Human-robot Interaction (HRI) The study of interactions between humans and robots I, Robot by Isaac Asimov in 1941: the Three Laws of Robotics
5. 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

8. Let's get back to reality... Human-Robot Interaction is an emerging field present in domains like military battle, mine and bomb detection, scientific exploration, entertainment, search and rescue and hospital care.
9. Robot population in 2008: Industrial robots: 1.3 million Service robots: 7.3 million 8.6 million robots
10. Main focus points in HRI topics revolve around human perception and anthropomorphism
