Robotics Experience Practitioner
The foundational credential built on the Robot Experience Design (RXD) framework. Human-robot interaction, designing around failure, and evaluating real deployments.
Join the Waitlist →Overview
The REP is the foundational credential in the Robot Age certification family. It is built entirely on the Robot Experience Design (RXD) framework — six dimensions for evaluating how humans experience robots in real environments. The programme covers the human side of robotics: not how robots are built, but how they behave, where they break down, and what the people around them need to know to work confidently alongside them. No engineering background required.
Built on
Robot Experience Design (RXD)
Every module, deliverable, and capstone in the REP programme maps directly to the six dimensions of the RXD framework — the original research framework developed by The Robot Age for evaluating how humans experience robots in real environments.
Founding Cohort · May 2026
Ten seats. One rate. First in.
The first REP cohort runs the first week of May 2026. This is the only time the program will run at this rate — and the only cohort where founding members get direct access to the instructor throughout.
No engineering background. No prerequisites. Just the credential the field is missing.
Curriculum
What Is Human Robotics Experience?
LiveLive Zoom kick-off. The RXD framework introduced and applied live to Reachy Mini across all six dimensions. No code. No prerequisites.
Signal Clarity & Spatial Legibility
LiveHow robots communicate intent and how humans read their position in space — signals, proxemics, and spatial legibility.
Perceived Presence
LiveVoice, form, aesthetic, emotional readability — how design choices shape the social register of a robot and why coherence matters.
Interaction Fit & Failure Transparency
LiveMatching capability to context, and designing failure as an intentional interaction moment rather than an exception.
Recovery Design & Applied Use Cases
LiveSynthesis across real deployment verticals. Write a spec, TRA runs it on Reachy Mini, you review the footage.
Capstone: Robot Readiness Audit
LiveComplete a full Robot Readiness Audit scored across all six RXD dimensions. Pass and earn the REP credential and badge.
