The Institute for Human and Industrial Engineering (ifab) primarily employs psychologists and engineers. The aim of the interdisciplinary research and teaching activities is to design work systems that are technically functional, economically efficient and humane. The focus is on issues relating to human-machine interaction and work design as well as work organization.

We are delighted that ifab is an official member of the BAuA's AI Roadmap. As part of this initiative, the BAuA is working together with research institutions, companies, and professional associations on a comprehensive roadmap for the safe and responsible use of AI in the world of work. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Barbara Deml and Manuel Zaremski are part of the Monitoring working group of the AI Roadmap and are jointly responsible for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation, reflection, and expert assessment of empirical surveys and data sets on the use of AI in the world of work.

Building on our work from the first funding phase, we will be collaborating with wbk and IES in ProKI 2.0 at KIT to explore how LLMs and robotics can support machining workers in the future. We at ifab are focusing on the role of the human in this context and are very much looking forward to the project.

On June 18th, we gathered in Berlin with other researchers to explore psychological perspectives on the research, evaluation, human-centered design, and responsible use of AI. A broad and highly relevant topic—the poster sessions, where we exchanged ideas on AI research in health, education, and work, were particularly exciting!
At the Forschungs.focaccia, a science communication format organized by KAMO, Alexandra Nick presented current study results and research ideas on automated trams. The focus was on questions regarding how future mobility can be designed to be understandable, user-centric, and trustworthy. We would like to thank KAMO for the invitation and the audience for the inspiring questions during the subsequent panel discussion.

This year's Conference on Circular Production Systems and Technologies (CCPT) brought together experts from academia and industry to discuss the future of sustainable production. As part of the hosting CRC 1574 "Circular Factory for the Eternal Product", ifab was naturally right in the middle of the action. A heartfelt thank you to the entire organizing team for a successful conference, the exciting insights into adaptive remanufacturing, and the fantastic supporting program at the ZKM!
