Title: Symbiotic Coevolution of Intelligent Office Desks and Human Users to Promote Productivity, Health, and Wellness
PI: Shawn C. Roll, PhD, OTR/L, RMSKS, FAOTA (sroll@usc.edu)
Description: This transdisciplinary project across occupational therapy, engineering, and psychology envisions the emergence of a genuine partnership and coevolution of workers and their workstations. We will design an intelligent workstation (Machine) that learns worker (Human) preferences and patterns; the Machine-Mind and Human-Mind will coevolve through an ongoing, bidirectional process of sensing, feedback and learning to adjust postural, thermal and visual conditions at the workstation (Machine-Motor) and moderate poor behaviors (Human-Motor).
Funding: NSF
