This session will address the role of the architect in designing safe paths of travel, and level changes that are ergonomically correct, and code compliant. The session will present the Florida Building Code, ADA, and IBC, (international building code) requirements for stairs, steps, ramps and level changes. Highlights will address the human factors of walking gait, and how level changes create the dynamics for falls. Examples will be given of design conditions that resulted in fall accidents and the audience can determine if it was an architectural defect, or someone just being clumsy.

The 2023 HFES Annual Meeting and Exhibition will take place in Washington, DC at the Washington Hilton Hotel.

ErgoX showcases the latest in technology evolution, research, and application and their intersection with human-system interaction and integration.

This talk will focus on research that explores what it means for robots to be humanlike---in appearance, behavior, and mechanisms that would enable them to become trusted members of human communities and teams. We will also explore the ethical and societal implications of creating humanlike robots and speak to the role that HF/E scientists and practitioners can play in addressing such implications.
