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.

EEG Neurofeedback-Based Gait Motor Imagery Training in Lokomat Enhances Motor Rhythms in Complete Spinal Cord Injury
Robotic interventions combining neurofeedback (NFB) and motor imagery (MI) are emerging strategies to promote cortical reorganization and functional training in individuals with complete spinal cord injury (SCI). This study proposes an electroencephalogram-based NFB approach for MI training, designed to teach the MI-related brain rhythmics modulation in Lokomat. For the purposes...

Spatiotemporal View-Reset Deep Learning With Attentional GRUs for Skeleton-Based Human Action Recognition
Skeleton-based human action recognition has attracted significant attention. However, the skeleton spatial invariance and temporal context modeling are recent challenges for most existing methods. This work proposes a view-reset network, which integrates two important branches: spatial view-reset module (SVRM) and temporal attention module (TAM). In the SVRM, the skeleton model...

Role-Based Human-Machine Collaboration Task-Allocation Strategy in Multiagent Environment
The human–machine collaboration task-allocation problem involves three major challenges: role diversity, capability heterogeneity, and task dynamics. Most existing studies treat humans and machines as parallel units through a static “Human + Machine” additive paradigm, which neglects the evolution of capability during collaboration. Some works “deeply couple” relatively low-autonomy machines with...

Human-Centered Fully Adaptive Radar for Gesture Recognition in Smart Environments
Over the past decade, radio frequency (RF) sensing or radar has garnered great interest as an emerging modality to enable human–computer interaction via gesture recognition. Current approaches involve utilization of a radar system that transmits a fixed signal with predetermined frequency, bandwidth, and other waveform parameters. However, gesture recognition accuracy...

Natural Human–Robot Interaction for Vascular Interventional Surgery: Design and Evaluation of a Leader Device With Haptic Feedback
Robot-assisted vascular interventional surgery is a hot topic in the interdisciplinary field of medical science and engineering, it has important research significance. Compared with traditional manual operation, it shows obvious advantages, such as avoiding the radiation exposure to the interventionist, reducing the workload of the interventionist, improving the precision of...
