Introducing the Industrial Psychology and Human Factors Team! Meet Sarah, Iveta, Chris, Anne-Marie, Vaishnavi and Sacha.
We are a specialised team operating within SATM, with a focus on Industrial Psychology within the manufacturing sector. Our expertise lies in researching, implementing, and strategizing ways to enhance Human-Robot Systems through a human factors approach. We delve into concepts such as Trust, Reliability, and more to contribute to technological and engineering advancements.
Our Objectives:
Our primary goal is to conduct research that informs the design and implementation of future systems, influencing the interaction between robots and humans. As workforces evolve to become more diverse and mobile, it is crucial for us to champion inclusive design in our intelligence systems, ensuring they respond effectively to the requirements of human operators.
Teaching:
Here are instances of human factors robotic experiments developed by participants within the MSC Robotics course and carried out during their workshop week. This included collaborative efforts in designing and conducting experiments with fellow students, as well as presenting and analysing the outcomes using psychological data tools.
