This design studio introduces computing with words, a fuzzy statistic approach that processes linguistic and perceptual data naturally. At a kick-off, a prototyping project will be introduced, then student pairs will complete tutorials to master fuzzistics, before spending time engineering and testing prototypes with Raspberry Pi and EmotiBit.

Students must apply by email prior to semester start. Due to specialized hardware needs, enrollment is limited to ten students on a first-come, first-served basis.

On successful completion of this design studio, you will have:

• Learned about fuzzy logic-based computing with words and perceptions, as a kind of embodied intelligence,
• Became familiar with demo-driven research within a group of two by designing, engineering, and evaluating a focusing guide, and
• Developed an understanding of somatic memory, by implementing interactive Raspberry Pi and EmotiBit prototypes.
