The cluster's activities may concern educational programmes, research projects or innovative experiments on:
the impact of technological and digital development on ergonomics and human-machine interactions
user-centred design methodologies for the Industry of the Future
taking into account the individual in the management of change towards the Industry of the Future.
The project is headed up by Toinon VIGIER, lecturer at Nantes Université (Polytech Nantes)/LS2N, and Damien CHABLAT, senior researcher at CNRS/LS2N.
