Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human–Machine Interaction (HMI) has become a cornerstone of modern technological development, bridging the gap between computational systems and humans. Advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, and immersive technologies have transformed how we interact with machines, enabling intuitive, adaptive, and efficient interfaces. This research area is critical for designing systems that enhance usability, safety, and user experience across domains such as healthcare, industry, education, and entertainment.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue focusing on Human–Machine Interaction Applications. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and innovative solutions that advance the understanding and implementation of HMI in real-world contexts.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Intelligent user interfaces and adaptive systems;
- Multimodal interaction and natural language processing;
- Human–robot collaboration and assistive technologies;
- Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Antonio Fernández-Caballero
Guest Editor
