Human-Machine Interaction

The interplay between people and machines

Overview

Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) studies the interplay between people and machines (e.g., information technology, automation, robots and intelligent interfaces). From a global perspective, it aims to improve the relationship between people and technology and foster positive social change through technology.

Research Topics

  • Social robotics (SR): human-robot interaction, socially intelligent robots, social artificial intelligence, multimodal interaction
  • Workplace technology (WT): user-centred technology development, workplace user experience (UX), cognitive work analysis, transportation, health care, sustainable technology management
  • Technology ethics (TE): relations with automation and AI, safety, design ethics, human-in-the-loop development, expertise, mutual shaping of society and technology, (gender) diversity, equity and inclusion
  • Sustainability (S): how digital devices and online services affect our everyday lives, energy demand and carbon emissions
