Shaping collaboration between humans and technical systems
ATB develops and investigates work and learning environments in which humans, AI systems and robots share tasks in a meaningful way. Interaction, safety and usability are considered alongside the technical functions. Virtual and augmented environments support skills development, planning and collaboration.
What we support
- analysing tasks, roles and interaction sequences within their application context
- developing concepts for human-AI and human-robot collaboration
- prototyping adaptive assistance and interaction functions
- developing XR applications for training, planning and remote support
- jointly testing usability, acceptance and technical functionality
- evaluating demonstrators in realistic working environments
Design framework
| Perspective | Key question |
|---|---|
| Task division | Which tasks are performed by humans, and which by the technical system? |
| Interaction | How are intention, state and next action clearly communicated? |
| Adaptation | How does the support system respond to the situation, role and experience? |
| Safety and control | How are interventions, boundaries and responsibilities kept transparent? |
| Testing | How is the solution evaluated with the future user groups? |
