Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) refers to the study and design of interfaces through which humans communicate and interact with machines, systems, or technologies. It encompasses the methodologies, tools, and techniques that facilitate effective collaboration between humans and machines. The aim is to enhance user experience, improve usability, and ensure that interactions are intuitive and efficient. This field draws on principles from various disciplines, including computer science, cognitive psychology, ergonomics, and design. HMI can involve various forms of interaction, such as touch, voice, gestures, and visual displays, and spans applications from everyday devices like smartphones to complex systems like industrial robots. Understanding HMI is crucial for developing user-centered technologies that can adapt to human needs and capabilities, ultimately aiming to create more productive and satisfying interactions.
