Abstract

Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) studies how a human interacts with a machine, changing the relationship from manual control to intelligent systems. Earlier HMI's were controlled mostly by physical inputs, whereas today's controls depend on GUI, touch, speech (decorated by Natural Language Processing) and gestures to construct a more natural experience. Some more capable systems are voice assistants (Siri and Alexa) these are examples of speech interfaces. The newest technology is the Brain Computer Interface (BCI) where the user is plugged into the machine; BCI technology is also helpful for users with disabilities to directly interact with a machine. Other HMI technology that is noteworthy is haptic interfaces, tangible interfaces and social robots, these types of systems help to foster usability and trustworthiness. HMI technology will continue to evolve in order to create more natural, accessible and intuitive humans and machines interactions.
