On the evening of April 19, 2025, the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Human-Machine Engineering Committee of the Chinese Society of Ergonomics was grandly held in the Weishui Hall on the second floor of Chanba Huayi Hotel in Xi'an. The meeting gathered experts and scholars from universities, scientific research institutions and other fields. By systematically summarizing the past construction achievements, deeply discussing the frontier topics and scientifically planning the development path, the meeting achieved a series of important consensus in a warm and pragmatic atmosphere, which provided a new impetus for promoting the high-quality development of China's Ergonomics discipline.
[Opening statements: reviewing achievements, looking ahead]
Under the presidency of Secretary General Jin Xiaoping, the annual meeting was officially opened.


Prof. Mao Enrong, Director of the Committee, delivered an opening speech, in which he extended his sincere welcome and thanks to all members, invited experts and long-term partners. During the speech, Prof. Mao systematically sorted out the annual work achievements of the Committee, which covered many key areas such as academic activities, organizational construction, and standard development. In particular, Prof. Mao pointed out that the Committee has established strategic cooperation with the Engineering Psychology Committee of the Chinese Psychological Association and the Engineering Construction Management Committee of the Chinese Society of Economics and Technology, initially building up an interdisciplinary collaborative innovation network.


[Organizational development: Rigorous recommendations and new energy]
The meeting strictly followed the organizational procedures, and Secretary General Jin Xiaoping made a special explanation on the mechanism of adding members. Under the supervision of Ma Liang, Deputy Secretary General of the Chinese Society of Ergonomics, Bi Lu Zheng, Deputy Director of the Committee, announced the voting results on the spot. The new members brought new ideas and vitality to the Committee, and also signified that the Committee would be more active in a wider range of fields in the future development of the Committee.In-depth research andPractice Exploration.


[Annual planning: clear direction and comprehensive layout development]
Subsequently, Li Jiahua, Deputy Secretary General, introduced this year's planning of the Ad Hoc Committee, introduced this year's planning of the Ad Hoc Committee, which covers a number of important aspects, aiming to promote the Ad Hoc Committee to achieve further development in the areas of organizational construction, academic exchanges, industry services and other areas.


[Outlook of the industry: meeting the challenges and creating a harmonious future for man and machine]
This annual conference provides a platform for in-depth communication and extensive discussion on the development of the field of ergonomics in China, and the participating experts and members have made in-depth thinking and outlook on the future development of the industry. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of Things and other emerging technologies, ergonomics is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges.
In terms of opportunities, the development of emerging technologies provides a broader space and more advanced means for ergonomics research and application.
However, the development of these technologies also brings many challenges. In the context of accelerated iteration of intelligent technologies, ergonomics needs to continuously update its research methods and theoretical systems to adapt to the changes brought by new technologies.
Facing these challenges, the participating experts and members agreed that the Ergonomics Committee needs to give full play to its organizational and professional advantages to lead the development of the industry. On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the basic research and deeply explore the basic principles and laws of ergonomics to provide a solid theoretical foundation for technological innovation.


The success of the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Ergonomics Specialized Committee of the Chinese Ergonomics Society has laid a solid foundation for the development of China's ergonomics field in 2025 and beyond. With the joint efforts of all members, the Ergonomics Specialized Committee will continue to make new breakthroughs and achievements.
