Laboratory for Human Life Engineering : Human Factors & Ergonomics in Waseda University
 


Research Domain
The purpose of Laboratory for Human Life Engineering is to develop engineering methodology and techniques to make fitting artifacts at living, industry and social life to the human abilities and everyday life, from the point of human natural behaviour. It has a deep relation with human factors and cognitive ergonomics.
The followings are the examples of research projects.

note: Occupational or muscle-skeletal ergonomics and industrial design of art are not treated as labo studies.

Usability or UX Design and Human Life Engineering
user experience development
ethnological study on casual human lives

Cognitive Ergonomics
development of cognitive models to describe natural behavior
appliance of cognitive models for increment of usability and safety
