Adaptation of the human-machine interface to the human skill and dynamic characteristics

Abstract Human Adaptive Mechatronics (HAM) considers operator's individual skills and preferences. Operator's performance is time-varying and stochastic. Modifying the static parameters of the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) the human operator's skill level and dynamic characteristics can be passively adapted. Knowledge-based approach is applied to change the machine parameters. This leads to a novel Skill Adaptive Control (SAC), which is described in the paper. A trolley crane system is simulated to test how operators can benefit of SAC. Four operators were using the system.
