Validation of the human-machine interface

30 July 2024 15:09

At the end of last year, members of the Cobotank team had the opportunity to discuss the human-machine interface and the specific design of the display with pupils from the Schiffer-Berufskolleg RHEIN e.V. (ESD) in several focus group interviews.

The findings from these focus group interviews were integrated into our design and led to the development of an initial human-machine interface. We have now presented the resulting prototype of the interface to the pupils of the Schiffer vocational college, who were able to use it to simulate the hose connection and disconnection process.

During the simulation and afterwards, the students had the opportunity to express their experiences and perceived problems when using the system. For us, this was a crucial validation of the developments to date, which provided us with important insights for the next steps.

We would like to thank the Schiffer-Berufskolleg RHEIN e.V. and the students for their valuable co-operation. Their dedicated participation and constructive feedback are crucial for the development of the CoboTank.
