Abstract

Technology has entered the age of smart systems, which not only implement traditional human functions of analyzing real-world data and making decisions but also employ humans within the feedback control loop. The development of such systems is not trivial, however, involving several challenges. In this chapter, we share our experience of building human-in-the-loop systems, such as a user-aware computer display, a viewer-conscious TV, a smart door, a smart carpet, a medication adherence control system and smart in-home system for monitoring people with cognitive impairment. We identify problems related to incorporating humans into the control loop and present guidelines for hardware and software designers.
