Field of Research

  • Modeling of physical human-machine interaction
  • Automated testing of power tool applications

Main Research Topics

  • Investigating the influence of jerk-induced system dynamics in hand-held power tools on user perception (Sense of Agency & Embodiment)
  • Systematically building design knowledge for the development of technical systems that interact symbiotically with humans
  • Studying user behavior and typical operational strategies in the use of power tools to derive strategies for automating power-tool applications
