Karl U. Smith

Karl Ulrich Smith (1 May 1907 in Zanesville, Ohio – 22 June 1994 in Lake Wales, Florida) was an American physiologist, psychologist and behavioral cybernetician.

He dealt among others with the interaction between humans and technology and played a crucial role in the development of human factors which deals with the safe and humane or healthy design of products, work equipment and work systems.
