Discussion focussed on the latest research in human/machine interaction, and the developing areas of human/machine cooperation and collaboration and included everything from health, security, education, defence, mining, design, and advanced manufacturing.

Panel discussion focussed around the latest impacts of human/machine interactions on their research areas and introduced some areas of topical interest including recent research into human machine cooperation, and concepts like centaurs systems (from “free style chess”) and the human centred “caring” intelligent environments, as well as the new possibilities of AI augmented design and the inspirational world of semi-sentient, biometric enabled art.
