Teleoperator-Robot-Human Interaction in Manufacturing: Perspectives from Industry, Robot Manufacturers, and Researchers.

IISE transactions on occupational ergonomics and human factors
OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONSIndustrial robots have become an important aspect in modern industry. In the context of human-robot collaboration, enabling teleoperated robots to work in close proximity to local/onsite humans can provide new opportunities t...

A systematic literature review of computer vision-based biomechanical models for physical workload estimation.

Ergonomics
Ergonomic risks, driven by strenuous physical demands in complex work settings, are prevalent across industries. Addressing these challenges through detailed assessment and effective interventions enhances safety and employee well-being. Proper and t...

On the Evaluation of Diverse Vision Systems towards Detecting Human Pose in Collaborative Robot Applications.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Tracking human operators working in the vicinity of collaborative robots can improve the design of safety architecture, ergonomics, and the execution of assembly tasks in a human-robot collaboration scenario. Three commercial spatial computation kits...

Analysis of KangDuo-SR-1500 and KangDuo-SR-2000 robotic partial nephrectomy from an operative and ergonomic perspective: a prospective controlled study in porcine models.

Journal of robotic surgery
The objective of this study is to explore the safety and effectiveness of two new models of KangDuo surgical robots for partial nephrectomy in porcine models, and evaluate the ergonomic characteristics from both subjective and objective perspectives....

Perceived comfort and tool usability during robot-assisted and traditional laparoscopic surgery: a survey study.

Journal of robotic surgery
It is known that over half of previously surveyed surgeons performing Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery (RALS) and three-quarters of those performing Traditional Laparoscopic Surgery (TLS) experience intraoperative pain. This survey study aimed to ...

Shaping the development and use of Artificial Intelligence: how human factors and ergonomics expertise can become more pertinent.

Ergonomics
New developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are extensively discussed in public media and scholarly publications. While in many academic disciplines debates on the challenges and opportunities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how to best addr...

Bariatric Surgeon Ergonomics: A Comparison of Laparoscopy and Robotics.

The Journal of surgical research
INTRODUCTION: Bariatric surgery is routinely performed using laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Musculoskeletal injuries are prevalent among both robotic and laparoscopic bariatric surgeons. Studies evaluating ergonomic differences between laparosc...

Impact of preferred surgical modality on surgeon wellness: a survey of workload, physical pain/discomfort, and neuromusculoskeletal disorders.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: We compared surgeons' workload, physical discomfort, and neuromusculoskeletal disorders (NMSDs) across four surgical modalities: endoscopic, laparoscopic, open, and robot-assisted (da Vinci Surgical Systems).

Soft computing applications in the field of human factors and ergonomics: A review of the past decade of research.

Applied ergonomics
The main objectives of this study were to 1) review the literature on the applications of soft computing concepts to the field of human factors and ergonomics (HFE) between 2013 and 2022 and 2) highlight future developments and trends. Multiple soft ...
