Asian Ergonomics Design Laboratory

Human factors and ergonomics for design that fits Asian bodies, contexts, and futures.

AED Lab applies anthropometry, 3D digital human modelling, usability research, AI-assisted design, and human factors knowledge to support better products and environments.

Technology layer

3D data, statistical models, and AI-assisted fit workflows.

AED Lab's work is not only a publication archive. The lab turns body scans, head and face shape databases, digital models, and prototypes into fit-aware tools for product and healthcare design.

Research

Design evidence from bodies, behavior, and computation.

We focus on physical and cognitive ergonomics including anthropometry, 3D digital human modeling, CAD/CAM/CAE, statistical modeling, usability testing, HCI, human robot interaction, AI in design, safety, and healthcare.

01

Anthropometry and fit

Head, face, ear, and body data for products that fit real users.

02

Digital human modeling

3D statistical models and parametric methods for design evaluation.

03

Human interaction

Usability, trust, wayfinding, mobile interfaces, robots, and AI agents.

People

A research group spanning ergonomics, design, computation, and healthcare.

Current members

Research translation

From lab methods to a PolyU start-up.

Sizefit is presented separately from SizeChina because it is a technology-transfer and entrepreneurship outcome, not simply part of the database project.

2023 PolyU Start-up

Sizefit Technology Limited

PolyU KTEO describes Sizefit as a start-up using AI technology developed from AidLab to create custom headwear products from generated 3D heads, with early focus on children's eyewear and specialized frames for special needs and disfigurements.

Focus
Custom headwear, children's eyewear, and specialized frames.
Team listed by KTEO
Yan Luximon, See Jun Hong, and Zhang Jie.
