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.

Imagined Speech–EEG Detection Using Multivariate Swarm Sparse Decomposition-Based Joint Time–Frequency Analysis for Intuitive BCI
In brain–computer interface (BCI) applications, imagined speech (IMS) decoding based on electroencephalogram (EEG) has established a new neuro-paradigm that offers an intuitive communication tool for physically impaired patients. However, existing IMS–EEG-based BCI systems have introduced difficulties in feasible deployment due to nonstationary EEG signals, suboptimal feature extraction, and limited multiclass...

Coordinated Adaptive Impedance Control of Redundantly Actuated Parallel Manipulators
Redundantly actuated parallel mechanisms (RAPMs) have been widely adopted in advanced robotic systems and precision machine tools. It has been demonstrated that redundant actuation can improve the performance of mechatronic systems but introduce challenges with respect to control. One main difficulty is in establishing an accurate dynamic model of the...

Visual Imagery-Based Brain-Computer Interaction Paradigms and Neural Encoding and Decoding
Imagination is a significant mental activity of human beings that can serve as a brain-computer interaction (BCI) paradigm, and visual imagery (VI) has become a relatively new BCI paradigm. VI is the ability to form visual representations in short-term memory without retinal input, offering users advantages like safety and rich...

Adaptive Virtual Fixture Based on Learning Trajectory Distribution for Comanipulation Tasks
Virtual fixture is a powerful tool to improve safety and efficiency for co-manipulation tasks. However, traditional virtual fixtures with constant stiffness are inadequate for scenarios where robots need to leave the constraints to perform tasks. To address this, we propose an adaptive virtual fixture based on the motion refinement tube,...

WiOpen: A Robust Wi-Fi-Based Open-Set Gesture Recognition Framework
Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in Wi-Fi-based gesture recognition. However, existing works have predominantly focused on closed-set paradigms, where all testing gestures are predefined during training. This poses a significant challenge in real-world applications, as unseen gestures might be misclassified as known class during testing. To address this...
