Enhancing ergonomics in E-waste disassembly: the impact of collaborative robotics on muscle activation and coordination.

Ergonomics
Disassembly, as a part of the electronic waste (e-waste) management process, is a labour-intensive task. The emergence of collaborative robots (cobots) provides a robotic solution to reduce the human efforts during disassembly. This study evaluated m...

Time Efficiency and Ergonomic Assessment of a Robotic Wheelchair Transfer System.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
: Caregivers experience high rates of occupational injuries, especially during wheelchair transfers, which often result in back pain and musculoskeletal disorders due to the physical demands of lifting and repositioning. While mechanical floor lifts,...

Predicting ergonomic risk among laboratory technicians using a Cheetah Optimizer-Integrated Deep Convolutional Neural Network.

Computers in biology and medicine
Medical laboratory technicians play a significant role in clinical units by conducting diagnostic tests and analyses. However, their job nature involving repetitive motions, prolonged standing or sitting, etc., leads to potential ergonomic risks. Thi...

NLP-based ergonomics MSD risk root cause analysis and risk controls recommendation.

Ergonomics
An ergonomics assessment of the physical risk factors in the workplace is instrumental in predicting and preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly popular for ergonomics assessments becaus...

Human-Robot Collaboration With a Corrective Shared Controlled Robot in a Sanding Task.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: Physical and cognitive workloads and performance were studied for a corrective shared control (CSC) human-robot collaborative (HRC) sanding task.

Modeling the Impact of Ergonomic Interventions and Occupational Factors on Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders in the Neck of Office Workers with Machine Learning Methods.

Journal of research in health sciences
BACKGROUND: Modeling with methods based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence can help understand the complex relationships between ergonomic risk factors and employee health. The aim of this study was to use ML methods to estimate the...

Human factors considerations for the context-aware design of adaptive autonomous teammates.

Ergonomics
Despite the gains in performance that AI can bring to human-AI teams, they also present them with new challenges, such as the decline in human ability to respond to AI failures as the AI becomes more autonomous. This challenge is particularly dangero...

Cognitive and behavioral markers for human detection error in AI-assisted bridge inspection.

Applied ergonomics
Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and drone technology into bridge inspections offers numerous advantages, including increased efficiency and enhanced safety. However, it is essential to recognize that this integration changes the cognitive er...

Promoting safety of underground machinery operators through participatory ergonomics and fuzzy model analysis to foster sustainable mining practices.

Scientific reports
One of the most vital parameters to achieve sustainability in any field is encompassing the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) of the workers. In mining industry where heavy earth moving machineries are largely employed, ergonomic hazards turn out ...

Human Factors in AI-Driven Digital Solutions for Increasing Physical Activity: Scoping Review.

JMIR human factors
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance physical activity (PA) interventions. However, human factors (HFs) play a pivotal role in the successful integration of AI into mobile health (mHealth) solutions for promoting PA. ...
