Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to contribute to the Special Session: /“New Forms of Human-Technology Interaction in Production and Logistics Systems for the Operator 4.0/5.0”/, organized within the APMS 2026 Conference (Advances in Production Management Systems), which will take place in Bergamo, Italy. As production and logistics systems become increasingly digital, connected, and autonomous, the role of the human operator is evolving rather than disappearing. This special session focuses on human-centric design of human–cyber-physical systems, exploring how emerging technologies can augment human capabilities, support well-being, and enable effective collaboration between humans and machines. Technologies of interest include augmented reality, collaborative robots, wearable sensors, and AI-based assistants, among others. We welcome contributions addressing topics such as (but not limited to): • Design principles and frameworks for effective Human-Technology Interaction (HTI) • Adaptive systems tailored to individual operator capabilities and needs • Organizational and workforce-level impacts of human-centric production technologies • Human-AI collaboration and Operator 4.0 / Operator 5.0 paradigms • Human factors and ergonomics in advanced production and logistics systems *Submission deadline for full papers (12–15 pages): 28 March 2026* Special Session Organizers: • Jannick Fiedler – ETH Zurich • Huizhong Cao – Chalmers University of Technology • Serena Finco – University of Padua • Fabio Sgarbossa – NTNU • David Romero – Tecnológico de Monterrey If your research relates to human-centric production systems, Operator 4.0/5.0, or human-AI collaboration in industrial contexts, we warmly encourage you to submit your work and join the discussion. More information about the conference and submission guidelines is available on the APMS 2026 conference website.
