Neural Networks and Learning Systems for Human Machine Interfacing

With developments of the sensor and computing technologies, human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are designed to meet the increasing user demands of machines and systems. This is because human effects are becoming the key issues to allow some advanced mechanical devices, such as robots and biometric systems, to perform complicate tasks intelligently in an unknown environment. An effective HMI with learning ability can process, interpret, recognize, and simulate the intention and behaviors of human beings, and then utilize intelligent algorithms to drive the machine devices. The HMIs also enable us to bring humanistic intelligence and actions in robotic devices, biometric systems and other machines through two-ways interactions, such as using deep neural networks. In recent years, a growing number of researchers and studies focusing on this area have clearly demonstrated the importance of learning systems for HMIs.
