Call for Papers for the Special Issue “Human-machine Interface for Robotic Systems”

Guest Editors

SpecialIssue Introduction

A human-machine interface for robotic systems is a technology or system that allows humans to interact with and control robots effectively. This interface serves as a bridge between the human operator and the robotic system, enabling communication, command input, data visualization, and feedback exchange.

Human-machine interfaces can take various forms, including physical control panels, touchscreens, gesture recognition systems, voice commands, or brain-computer interfaces. The primary goal of these interfaces is to simplify the operation of complex robotic systems, making them more intuitive and user-friendly for human operators.

Effective human-machine interfaces are essential for a wide range of applications, from industrial automation and manufacturing to healthcare, entertainment, and even everyday consumer products such as smart home devices. They play a crucial role in enhancing productivity, safety, and overall user experience when interacting with robotic technologies.
