What We Do
Recent advances in sensing, processing, and machine learning are expected to gradually transition our world into a new era where machines take initiative and proactively approach their users, while gradually fading into sensitive application areas with societal and ethical consequences. This development is propelled by new modalities of interaction, such as voice, virtual/augmented reality, emerging sensing opportunities introspecting users and new capabilities of predicting user needs and intentions.
Main research focus
- Research through design in transdisciplinary settings
- AI-driven assistance and companion systems
- Human-machine and human-AI cooperation in a variety of contexts
- Adaptive and attention-aware information systems
- Explainability, transparency and accountability of AI systems
- New interaction modalities such as voice and AR/VR

Projects
Human-Robot Collaboration
Exploring the different ways we can improve collaboration between man and machine, while leveraging their individual strengths.
motor learning
Haptic interactions such as Electric muscle stimulation (EMS) need an understanding of parameters concerning the design of bodily integration systems, and ways to promote appropriate experiences. We investigate the elements that may influence an EMS system’s user experience, notably the user acceptance with having the body actuated, as well as the relationship with motor learning.
eternity bike
We develop and evaluate the implementation of a self-balancing assisted bicycle, with the aim to integrate safety features, devices and add connected driving features. So far, we have developed a high-fidelity VR bicycle simulator to conduct realistic studies with human participants
aspern.mobil LAB
The aspern.mobil LAB creates a space where residents, researchers, municipalities and companies can collectively contribute to the development of new, urban mobility in Seestadt Aspern. It aims to locally establish and support a new culture of mobility and innovation that can become a local flagship project for Austria as a location for innovation. Mobility and innovation culture should be carried by the community emerging around aspern.mobili LAB. The lab serves as an infrastructure for research and development. The core areas of innovative mobility solutions include active mobility, shared mobility as a service, as well as first/last-mile logistics and the analysis of their spatial, economic, ecological and social added value.
SmartHubs
The SmartHubs project examines mobility hubs, dedicated on-street locations where citizens can choose from different shared and sustainable mobility options. The main objective is to assess if a co-designed, user-centric development can enable mobility hubs to act as a game changer towards inclusive sustainable urban mobility and accessibility. SmartHubs will examine, develop and apply research methods and tools in SmartHubs Living Labs in Brussels, Rotterdam-the Hague metropolitan region, Munich, Vienna and Istanbul.
