Design of Human-Centred Technical Systems, Products and Human Capital Development

Abstract

The article explores the features of the manifestation of the human factor in the development of human-oriented technical and production systems and products, the use of cognitive methods to solve design problems and assess the impact of the design processes of human-oriented technical systems and products on the development of human and social capital. It is proved that the conditions (including the manifestation of the human factor) in which modern advanced manufacturing, technical and production systems are created are determined by the processes of NBIC convergence that have begun and the formation of the new technological paradigm. A method for assessing the growth of human capital based on the information characteristics of the designed systems and products is proposed.
