Abstract
The interaction of the human user with equipment and software is a central aspect of the work in the life science laboratory. The enhancement of the usability and intuition of software and hardware products, as well as holistic interaction solutions are a demand from all stakeholders in the scientific laboratory who desire more efficient workflows. Shorter training periods, parallelization of workflows, improved data integrity, and enhanced safety are only a few advantages innovative intuitive human-device-interfaces can bring. With recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), the availability of smart devices, as well as unified communication protocols, holistic interaction solutions are on the rise. Future interaction in the laboratory will not be limited to pushing mechanical buttons on equipment. Instead, the interplay between voice, gestures, and innovative hard- and software components will drive interactions in the laboratory into a more streamlined future.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology reviews actual trends in modern biotechnology. Its aim is to cover all aspects of this interdisciplinary technology where knowledge, methods and expertise are required for chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, chemical engineering and computer science. Special volumes are dedicated to selected topics which focus on new biotechnological products and new processes for their synthesis and purification. They give the state-of-the-art of a topic in a comprehensive way thus being a valuable source for the next 3 - 5 years. It also discusses new discoveries and applications.
