Human–Machine Interfaces

The design and the development of human–machine interfaces is fundamental for technological advances in industry. This chapter proposes different practical and common cases where sensor system integrations are required, providing different solutions by means of artificial intelligence representing a topic of the advances in the passage from Industry 4.0 to 5.0. It provides different interface architectures and mechatronic layouts for auto‐adaptive control and actuation systems, addressed on Industry 5.0 advanced production systems. Machine‐to‐machine interfaces are mainly constituted by electronic boards and processors transforming analog signals into digital ones. The chapter analyzes command interfaces for human working stations connecting production line command lines and local area network, by providing guidelines for the design of synchronized command interfaces working on the production lines. McCulloch–Pitts neurons and artificial neural network are applied to implement the basic logic gates to be used in automatic decision‐making systems enabling a specific actuation.
