I’m going to go with no, since that step is not transferring data to a human, it’s transferring it internally within the computer.
UI can refer to either the medium, such as a visual display, speaker system, or keyboard, and it can also refer to a specific layout of information (like the Qwerty layout, or a webpage layout).
I wouldn’t consider the USB protocol UI just because it can transmit HID Events, only the keyboard or mouse as a whole is UI.
You could almost call HID events UI, but I’d still argue they’re more of a computer-device interface than a human-device interface
This was a new word for me, so I had to look it up: It’s an… interesting choice of words to describe the success of a robot.
Of course a robot would perform the job unflappably, it is emotionless by design. I’m pretty sure it would go right ahead and murder the patient unflappably as well. The robot “keeping its cool” is not even a question.
That said, this does sound very impressive, even if I think there’s some pretty crazy risks involved. Hopefully they have more respect for the problem then self-driving car companies.
