Human-machine interfaces
Design human interfaces that reduce mode confusion and support competent operation.
How we approach Human-machine interfaces
Human-machine interfaces determine how failures are recovered and how operators interpret autonomy states. We help define UX patterns, alarms, and escalation consistent with operational doctrine.
Training curricula align to system states and limits - especially when permissions change across sites.
Accessibility and fatigue considerations matter for sustained operation in industrial contexts.
