Human Machine Interaction

Vision: To create intelligent, adaptable interfaces that anticipate user needs and proactively respond, fostering a truly collaborative human-machine partnership.

Mission: To advance the field of Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) by conducting rigorous research to develop intuitive, human-centered interfaces that enhance human productivity, safety, and overall experience across diverse applications

Key focus areas:

• Artificial Intelligence and Data Science
• Image Processing & Computer Vision
• Knowledge Modelling
• IoT & Embedded Systems

Current Projects:

• AI-powered assistive Technology for the Visually Impaired:
  • Developing smart glasses that use AI, computer vision, and LiDAR to help visually impaired individuals navigate urban spaces. The device provides real-time audio feedback, detecting obstacles, reading signs, and recognizing faces for enhanced independence.

• An IoT-Driven System for Sustainable Fishing in Sri Lankan Waters:
  • An IoT-powered solution to combat overfishing and illegal poaching in Sri Lankan waters. The system tracks fish populations using real-time sensors and AI while detecting unauthorized fishing activities to support sustainable fishing and maritime security.
