Adaptive Human–Technology Systems
Architectures that treat the human, interface, control system and physical device as one coupled system.
HUMAN INTERFACE SYSTEMS
Engineering the interface between humans and adaptive technology.
Research, systems engineering and prototyping for adaptive human–technology systems and human enhancement engineering.
Human Enhancement Engineering
Engineering methods for restoration, augmentation and increasingly natural human–machine integration.
Research & Prototyping
Evidence-led investigation, modelling, experimental systems and physical interface development.
CURRENT PROGRAMMES
AHCP
Adaptive Human–Cybernetic Prosthetics
HCREP
Human–Cybernetic Rehabilitation & Enhancement Programme
PROGRAMME STATUS
ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
Architecture, experimental systems and prototype development.
Human Interface Systems is developing requirements, architectures, evidence-led research and physical prototypes across AHCP and HCREP.
ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES
Evidence-led engineering
Distinguish evidence, assumptions and hypotheses before turning them into engineering decisions.
Coupled-system architecture
Treat the human, interface, control system and physical technology as parts of one engineered system.
Requirements to verification
Develop from explicit needs and requirements through architecture, implementation and verification.
Restoration to enhancement
Engineer for restoration and effective integration while investigating pathways toward augmentation and enhancement.
