The Human Machine Interaction research group at Create consists of dedicated researchers that investigate challenges regarding cognitive abilities, physical abilities, social rules and practices, as well as environmental parameters that impact or determine human machine interactions.

Our vision is to make modern interactive technology available to every user for improving their quality of life, both personal and work related.

Focus on distinct user groups

The group has a strong research expertise in interaction with special user groups like:

• citizens with cognitive challenges like traumatic or congenital brain damage, dementia, or dyslexia
• indigenous groups
• kindergarten and school children
• workers in production environment that face the challenge of moving from manual work to collaborating with robots.

Mix of methods

We tackle the challenges related to human machine interaction with these diverse user groups with a mix of methods, relying both on more qualitative, and quantitative approaches  like:

• ethnography and participatory design
• prototype development
• machine learning
• quantitative effect studies
• clinical trials

We work closely together with external partners focusing on real world challenges.
