The Observatory for Human-Machine Collaboration (OHMC) is a genuinely cross-disciplinary space for the study of interactions between humans and machines that puts human and technological perspectives on an equal footing.
By enabling minute examination of these interactions, we can explore how collaborations between people and machines can be optimised and create outcomes that are more effective, adaptable, reliable and socially acceptable as a result.
Since the OHMC was open in September 2020, there are six project run in collaboration with other CU departments and organisations:
- Agri-station for automation and growth optimization (G's Growers/Agriforwatds CDT)
- Eye tracking for 3D holographic displays (Engineering)
- Low-cost Intelligent Mixed Reality System for Responsive Human-Machine Interactions (IfM/Cyber-Human Lab)
- Personalized Emotional caRe uSing human-rObot iNterAction (PERSONA) (Department of Computer Science and Technology)
- Wearable optical monitoring of brain function in healthy adults and people at risk of dementia (Department of Physic/Engineering)
