[Should assistive robots have a "personality"? : Potential of simplified robot personalities].

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
BACKGROUND: In the European Union (EU) research project "HOBBIT" prototypes of assistive robots were developed in order to support a more secure and independent life style and trials were run at the homes of elderly users.

Predicting manual arm strength: A direct comparison between artificial neural network and multiple regression approaches.

Journal of biomechanics
In ergonomics, strength prediction has typically been accomplished using linked-segment biomechanical models, and independent estimates of strength about each axis of the wrist, elbow and shoulder joints. It has recently been shown that multiple regr...

Human upper-limb force capacities evaluation with robotic models for ergonomic applications: effect of elbow flexion.

Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering
The aim of this study was to apply models derived from the robotics field to evaluate the human upper-limb force generation capacity. Four models were compared: the force ellipsoid (FE) and force polytope (FP) based on unit joint torques and the scal...

Towards a future robotic home environment: a survey.

Gerontology
PURPOSE: Demographic change has resulted in an increase of elderly people, while at the same time the number of active working people is falling. In the future, there will be less caretaking, which is necessary to support the aging population. In ord...

Comparison of postural ergonomics between laparoscopic and robotic sacrocolpopexy: a pilot study.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare resident, fellow, and attending urologic and gynecologic surgeons' musculoskeletal and mental strain during laparoscopic and robotic sacrocolpopexy.

Designing for designers: insights into the knowledge users of inclusive design.

Applied ergonomics
Over the last twenty years, research on inclusive design has delivered a wealth of publications and initiatives, forming an emerging knowledge base for inclusive design. The inclusive design knowledge base breaks down into two discrete areas - unders...

Biomechanical analysis on neurotypical and autism spectrum disorder people during human-cobot interaction.

Applied ergonomics
Biomechanical analysis is essential for assessing subjects interacting with robotic setups and platforms. However, in industrial scenarios, workers' biomechanics are assessed mainly through questionnaires and scales which provide limited objectivity....

Identifying smart technology and artificial intelligence solutions for human factors and ergonomic challenges in all-hazard response: A survey study.

Applied ergonomics
Emergency responders face significant human factors and ergonomic (HF/E) challenges related to physical, cognitive, emotional, and training demands during high-stress situations. This study investigates these issues through a survey of 60 emergency r...

We have to go back, back to the future! Reflecting on 75 years of human factors in the UK to shape a future of responsible artificial intelligence innovation.

Ergonomics
The origins of Human Factors (HF) are rooted in the Second World War. It is a sign of the times that 75 years on from the formation of the Ergonomics Research Society, discussions occur as to whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) could/should be capab...

Using human factors methods to mitigate bias in artificial intelligence-based clinical decision support.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVES: To highlight the often overlooked role of user interface (UI) design in mitigating bias in artificial intelligence (AI)-based clinical decision support (CDS).
