RO-MAN 2021's theme is trustworthiness and cooperation. We chose this term well before the pandemic put the world on edge and added a new reason for us to question our own personal safety when in the company of others. But what about in the company of social robots? What would cause us to trust, or not trust, them? How do we as researchers create that feeling, that critical component of any relationship? With social robots, it is of course largely in our power to design the physical form, the control code and the interface software to maximize trustworthiness, facilitate cooperation and enhance the quality of human-robot interaction. This theme also touches upon people's expectations and perceptions of robots, as well as other social, cognitive and cultural factors that will influence human-robot interactions. We will have a special session/track on this topic, invite targeted submissions and include plenary speakers who are specialist in this area. We sincerely hope that this focus will help enlighten the design-thinking of all of us as we fabricate and program our own various systems.

Confessions of a Spark Plug - Sparking children's Imagination

Guided by recent AAPT guidelines, reorganization of the lab sequence at Creighton University resulted in a new, intermediate-level course designed to teach the six skills that practicing scientists rely on: constructing knowledge, modeling, designing experiments, developing technical and practical lab skills, analyzing and visualizing data, and communicating physics. As a way of introducing fundamental programming skills, students are tasked to integrate a microprocessor (Arduino Uno) with simple sensors to create basic data acquisition and control systems that can automate measurements. Here we highlight two examples. The first is a simple temperature controller used to maintain the temperature of an aluminum block. The second is a large angle pendulum whose amplitude and half period are measured using a rotary encoder. In both instances, students are challenged to design the program and troubleshoot its final application in the real world.

Arduinos as a platform for integrating programming skills into an advanced lab

Public access to archived geoscience databases and open source software programs provide opportunities for students to apply and expand conventional high school physics content in new contexts. These experiences invite opportunity for original science research projects that require nothing more than a computer with an internet connection. Examples from multiple geoscience fields of study will be outlined, with a focus on students' use of computation.
