The Human Automation Lab

Purpose

The Human Automation Lab (HA-Lab) at IFE brings together a multidisciplinary research team to perform applied research on the interaction, teaming and collaborative possibilities between humans and advanced technologies in digital and complex environments.

Established in 2019, the HA-Lab builds on over 30 years’ experience of human factors and human-technology interaction research across several domains. We are a multi-disciplinary group with backgrounds in electronic engineering, human factors, cognitive psychology, and machine learning. Our diversity enables us to take a holistic view and explore how humans and automated technologies can interact and collaborate in different scenarios and settings.
