Each stage carries its own topic list, so the sequence is followed rather than summarised.

Module 1 is Defining the Role of Social Robots in Residential Ecosystems. It works through selecting use cases where social robots provide measurable improvements over traditional smart home devices in daily household operations., integrating robot presence into existing home automation frameworks without creating redundant control pathways or user confusion., balancing anthropomorphic design features against user expectations for autonomy and reliability in domestic.

The Home Maintenance in Social Robot, How Next-Generation Robots course is fully self-paced with immediate online access after enrolment. Access does not expire and future updates are included at no cost. It can be taken on any device, and a certificate of completion is issued by The Art of Service when you finish.

The Home Maintenance in Social Robot, How Next-Generation Robots course is $298 as a one time payment. There is no subscription, no per seat licence and no hidden fee. Enrolment carries a 30 day satisfied or refunded guarantee, so it can be assessed in full before you commit.
