Human-centred. Mission-ready.

HRI Lab is a specialist research and development unit focused on designing intuitive human-robot interaction (HRI) systems for robotics, autonomy, and sensor-rich platforms. We develop wearable, multimodal, and mission-adaptive control interfaces that enable operators to interact seamlessly with complex robotic systems in challenging environments.

What we’re great at?

Wearable Control
Interfaces

Hands-free, wrist-mounted control for uncrewed systems — ideal for field operations where mobility and multitasking are essential.

With a core philosophy rooted in human-centred design, our solutions empower defence, industrial, and research clients to command autonomy with clarity, efficiency, and low cognitive burden — even in high-stakes or hands-busy scenarios.

TAK Integration

Seamless interoperability with TAK including ATAK, WinTAK, and VR TAK — enabling situational awareness, platform control, and mission coordination in one interface.

Custom Web
Applications

Responsive, intuitive browser-based UIs tailored to your platform, task, and user — from single-robot control to fleet dashboards.

Multimodal Interaction
Systems

Voice, touch, gesture, and context-aware inputs fused into adaptive HMIs that reduce cognitive load and boost mission performance.

Our approach

Define the Mission Context

We analyse the operational task, user needs, and robotic platform — guided by ISO 9241-210 and ISO 10218 — to anchor the design in real-world use.

Design from First Principles

We apply rigorous systems engineering (INCOSE-aligned) to develop intuitive, compatible interfaces — whether for wearable, TAK-integrated, or web-based control.

Iterate with End Users

Using operator-in-the-loop testing and MIL-STD-1472H for human factors, we validate and refine the interface through focused feedback loops.
