Smart and adaptive interfaces for INCLUSIVE work environment (INCLUSIVE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

The market demands flexible productions lead to complexification of production systems and hence to more articulated Human Machine Interface (HMI). This new features tend to exclude from working environment elderly people who, even if they have a great experience, feel uncomfortable in the interaction with a complex computerized system. Moreover, complex HMI creates a barrier to young inexperience ...
