The 2022 Conference “Human Factors in Rural Communities” is an exciting opportunity for all professionals, students, researchers / academics and practitioners, to expand their horizons and assist the rural communities of Australia.These communities are one of the least resourced sectors in Australia and certainly a problem demographic in relation to workplace injury and illness.
The conference streams are Culture, Agriculture, Rural Health and Transport. The conference date is set for the 17 – 19th October 2022 and the venue is the Lancemore Macedon Ranges Conference Centre in Central Victoria.
The format of the conference will be hybrid with both face to face and virtual / online components.
Human factors and ergonomics are crucial topics for the future development of robotic technologies. The application of diverse robotic technologies in different settings such as manufacturing, healthcare, and others is increasing steadily. In particular, robotic systems that closely interact with humans have the potential to challenge human factors and ergonomics research. Associated risks and opportunities of close interactions between humans and robots have to be considered and evaluated. In this webinar, international experts on robotic research will present various perspectives on human factors and ergonomics in robotics.
This webinar was organized by the International Ergonomics Association’s Technical Committee on Human Factors in Robotics (HFiR).
