Human Computer Interaction Case Study
Human Computer Interface design issues and challenges presented by Human-Robotic Interaction
Problem Statement
The replacement of factory and retail workers with robots that can perform the repetitive tasks done by their human counterparts has escalated. This can be seen in areas where the repetitive maneuvers performed by a robot can replace a multitude of workers thereby increasing the manufacturing process yet causing unemployment levels to rise in a locale area. These types of manufacturing jobs must be brought back to our country. The creation of new jobs centered around an autonomous workforce that engages proper human computer interface design could be accomplished through robotic technology, but at what cost to the workforce?

Human-Robotic Interaction (HRI) can be defined as the subject of interpretating, fabricating, and assessing systems that are to be employed by humans through robotics (Goodrich & Schultz, 2007, p. …show more content…
When this collaboration takes place, issues arise that affect the performance of the employee and the machine. The allocation of tasks between the robot and the operator are complex, thereby creating a need for a specialized skill set of workers and a variety of expectations about the robotic system that must addressed (Berg & Reinhart, 2017). Autonomous interface design and control schemes that affect human-robotic communication and interaction pose problems that must be investigated (Driewer, Sauer, & Schilling, 2007). The design of a human-robotic centered workplace that must be adaptive and flexible and allow for the distribution of work between the machine and the user, also imposes issues that demand the attention of computer interface designers (Thomas, Stankiewicz, Grötsch, Wischniewski, Deuse, & Kuhlenkötter,
