This paper discusses the concept of human-centred advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) and the role of ergonomics in its design and development. Various methods of human-centred design are illustrated through two examples taken from the Commission of European Communities' ESPRIT initiative. Difficulties which have been encountered are outlined and the methods being developed to overcome these problems are discussed.
