Overview
Key facts
It is widely recognised that the UK is lagging in its adoption of automation compared with its major trading competitors. A potential solution is human robot collaboration where human skill is augmented with the use of robotics. However, a key barrier is that whilst the hardware is well understood the ‘human’ side of the equation is generally less well understood, often resulting in ineffective and inefficient implementation. A better understanding of how to improve the design of human-robot interactions and enhance user adoption is needed. This course uniquely equips those who develop, implement or manage industrial systems with a better understanding of how people interact with – and impact on – human-robot systems, optimising the potential business returns on their usage. The course is intended to provide delegates with a basic introduction to the key human and social factors surrounding human-robot interaction, and insight into how to apply this knowledge to the industrial context. This knowledge is critical to a successful implementation of these systems yet currently not provided in available courses.
Cranfield University's Successfully Fitting People and Robots Together to Improve Work Performance programme will teach you more about this topic.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- will explore key human and social factors, such as workload, awareness, trust, and acceptance, to give you a broad awareness of human-robot interaction impacts
- We will show you how to assess cognitive and performance processes using reliable methods so you can evaluate the responses of your individual workers and workforces
- We will also go through basic user-centred design concepts and methods to enhance your ability for assessing social and environmental factors in the design of systems and how to tailor implementation / training to optimise adoption
- We will cover fundamental ethical principles and standards that you need to consider, and how these are shifting with new technology development to provide you with an understanding of current and forthcoming requirements
- Environmental and user centred design considerations will be outlined and discussed in the context of your own workplace experiences.
