Human Machine Interaction:Current Trends And Applications in Automated Systems And Inte

Abstract

Humanmachine interaction (HMI) has become central to the development of automated systems, intelligent interfaces, and adaptive industrial environments. As automation extends into manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and consumer technologies, the efficiency, safety, and acceptance of these systems depend on how effectively humans and machines communicate. This review examines the evolution, emerging trends, and industrial applications of HMI, focusing on usability principles, cognitive ergonomics, intelligen interface design, and the increasing integration of artificial intelligence. Current advancements such as multimodal interaction, gesture-based control, adaptive user interfaces, and braincomputer interaction significantly reshape how users engage with automated systems. The paper further analyses industrial applications including collaborative robotics, autonomous vehicles, smart healthcare systems, and AI-driven decision-support tools. Ongoing challenges such as interpretability, fatigue, overautomation, privacy, and ethical considerations are also highlighted. The review concludes that the future of HMI lies in designing transparent, context-aware, emotionally intelligent, and user-empowered systems that enhance human capability rather than replace it.
