Cognitive Ergonomics

Cognitive ergonomics focuses on optimizing human-machine interaction by aligning technology design with human cognitive capabilities and limitations, aiming to improve safety, efficiency, and user experience. Current research emphasizes the application of cognitive ergonomics principles to human-robot collaboration (HRC) and large language model (LLM) systems, utilizing techniques like EEG analysis to assess cognitive workload and AI-driven vision systems for online monitoring of human-robot interaction. This field is significant for mitigating risks like musculoskeletal disorders in HRC and improving the safety and usability of AI systems, impacting both workplace design and the development of more human-centered technologies.
