Breakthroughs in computer, network, materials, and others change the environment in which humans and machines interact with each other. Our technical committee tries to provide a platform to discuss and carry out studies on the cutting edge of human factors/ergonomics. People are welcome to get involved in our activities and join our technical committee to perform studies and development concerning the relationship between people, theory and technologies, environments, and systems.

This paper provides a unified summary of recent progress in designing open-loop synchronization (OLS) systems. Different OLS systems are combined into several general structures and comprehensive design guidelines are provided. Directions for future research in the area are also provided.

This awarded article proposes a novel object shape error response (OSER) to estimate the dimensional and geometric variations of assembled products and relates these to process parameters, which can be interpreted as root causes of the object shape defects. The proposed method can improve Root Cause Analysis capabilities by 29%.

This paper presents a general review on the available Single-DC-Source Multilevel Inverter (SDCS-MLI) topologies and future trends. Existing solutions are discussed and analyzed based on their topologies, number of output voltage levels, number of active/passive components, advantages/limitations, maturity, and industrial applications.

The RMAS (Relational-Model multi-agent system) architecture is proposed as a support for the new challenges that the research and practitioners' community in industrial agents has to face. RMAS aims to harness the challenges of artificial intelligence in industry, whilst grounding them in the rich but rock-solid IEC 61499 standard provisions.
