Program description
Students will investigate how aesthetics affect people's trust in robots and how semtiotics and anthropology aspects shape the ways in which robots interact with humans.
Project work based on lectures covering technical applications, design definition, cognitive user experience, aesthetic language, and critical analysis of the human-robot interaction will teach students how to define the aesthetic body of robots as everyday things. In addition, participants will be tasked with completing robotics-based company projects, which will stretch them from initial brief through concept formulation, product development, documentation, and a polished visual presentation.
Students will act as junior designers under the direction of a "art director" and will receive guidance from instructors in determining the parameters of their project and its potential outcomes.

About the university
In 1935, Milanese tailor Giulio Marangoni established Istituto, which by 1942 had evolved into the Scuola Professionale Artistica. While the school's focus was initially on educating pattern makers and seamstresses, it shifted to fashion design, product development, and marketing in the 1970s and 1980s.
The Istituto Marangoni is an exclusive fashion and design institute in Italy.
Milan, in Lombardy, is the institute's headquarters; it also has outposts in Florence, London, Paris, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Mumbai and Miami.
The university has partnerships with more than 4,500 global brands and businesses, giving students and alums access to a wealth of resources and opportunities. As a result of the school's close relationships with businesses on a worldwide and local scale, it is able to help current students and alums map out a career path that is tailored to their specific interests and aspirations within the fields of management and business.
Istituto Marangoni's Italia campuses teaches all of the Institute's core curricula:
- Fashion Courses
- Design Courses
- Art courses
Career services help students connect with possible employers, make business connections, and get internship experience.
By the time they graduate, practically all students have designed multiple collections for the Milan Fashion Show. Students visit profile displays, trading floors, presentations, and podium demonstrations as part of the curriculum.
