Transactions on Human Machine Systems

Scope

The scope of the IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems includes the field of human-machine systems. It covers human systems and human organizational interactions including cognitive ergonomics, system test and evaluation, and human information processing concerns in systems and organizations.

IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems was launched on January 1, 2013 to replace the human-machine systems sections of IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics.

Human Vital Signs Estimation Using Resonance Sparse Spectrum Decomposition
The noncontact measurement and monitoring of human vital signs has evolved into a valuable tool for efficient health management. Because of the greater penetration capability through material and clothes, which is less affected by environmental conditions such as illumination, temperature, and humidity, mmWave radar has been extensively researched for human...

Human-Centered Evaluation of EMG-Based Upper-Limb Prosthetic Control Modes
The aim of this study was to experimentally test the effects of different electromyographic-based prosthetic control modes on user task performance, cognitive workload, and perceived usability to inform further human-centered design and application of these prosthetic control interfaces. We recruited 30 able-bodied participants for a between-subjects comparison of three control...

RTSformer: A Robust Toroidal Transformer With Spatiotemporal Features for Visual Tracking
In complex environments, trackers are extremely susceptible to some interference factors, such as fast motions, occlusion, and scale changes, which result in poor tracking performance. The reason is that trackers cannot sufficiently utilize the target feature information in these cases. Therefore, it has become a particularly critical issue in the...

Leveraging High-Density EMG to Investigate Bipolar Electrode Placement for Gait Prediction Models
To control wearable robotic systems, it is critical to obtain a prediction of the user's motion intent with high accuracy. Surface electromyography (sEMG) recordings have often been used as inputs for these devices, however bipolar sEMG electrodes are highly sensitive to their location. Positional shifts of electrodes after training gait...

Working Conditions of Industrial Robot Operators–An Overview of Technology Dissemination, Job Characteristics, and Health Indicators in Modern Production Workplaces
Flexible robotic systems change not only the production workflow as a whole but also the individual working conditions of their operators. The aim of this analysis of our study with more than 5900 participants was to get an overview of demographics, job characteristics, and health indicators of robot operators in...
