Human-centred Technologies in Mechatronics and Robotics

Following the transformative impact of information technology on mechatronics and robotics, global attention has increasingly shifted toward the people who work with these systems. Within the network of three independent research infrastructures, there are resources and experimental solutions that support human creativity while also reducing both physical and mental workload.

The University of Debrecen primarily focuses on human-centered, customized virtual modeling techniques in the fields of vehicle mechatronics and social robotics. The Mechatronics Measurement Laboratory of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) concentrates on haptic systems, various motion analysis methods, as well as the measurement techniques and modeling of optical systems. HUN-REN SZTAKI focuses on the collaboration between autonomous robotic systems and humans, their digital twin models, and their energy efficiency.
