About the HUMASCEND events
HUMASCEND aims to bring together researchers in all areas studying how to use machines to enhance
human capabilities. This covers system aspects related to collaboration between humans and machines,
devices designed to enhance human capabilities, and cyborgs - hybrids of living organisms and machines.
The HUMASCEND Events (Conference, Workshop, Summer School) have started part of the Advanced
Technologies for Enhanced Quality of LIfe, AT-EQUAL conference series.
Tracks
We invite papers fitting the three main tracks:
•
Human-Machine Systems: humans and machines in collaborative relationships
•
Enhancing Devices: focusing on a next-gen prosthetics, designed to enhance human capabilities
•
Cyborgs: focusing on true hybrids that fuse living tissue and artificial structures
