Abstract

OBJECTIVE: A neural networks approach has been proposed to handle various inputs such as postural, anthropometric and environmental variables in order to estimate self-reported discomfort in picking tasks. An input reduction method has been proposed, reducing the input variables to the minimum data required to estimate self-reported discomfort with similar accuracy as the neural network fed with all variables.
