Improving Workers' Musculoskeletal Health During Human-Robot Collaboration Through Reinforcement Learning.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to improve workers' postures and thus reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders in human-robot collaboration by developing a novel model-free reinforcement learning method.

Growing pains: strategies for improving ergonomics in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

Current opinion in obstetrics & gynecology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To evaluate factors contributing to the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and review strategies for mitigating ergonomic strain in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

Human-Centric Digital Twins in Industry: A Comprehensive Review of Enabling Technologies and Implementation Strategies.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The last decade saw the emergence of highly autonomous, flexible, re-configurable Cyber-Physical Systems. Research in this domain has been enhanced by the use of high-fidelity simulations, including Digital Twins, which are virtual representations co...

Ergonomic Assessment of the Surgeon's Physical Workload During Robot-Assisted Versus Standard Laparoscopy in a French Multicenter Randomized Trial (ROBOGYN-1004 Trial).

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Standard laparoscopy (SL) is responsible for musculoskeletal disorders in surgeons because of poor ergonomic positions, which could be reduced by robot-assisted laparoscopy (RAL) owing to the surgeons' seated position. One of the aims of ...

An ergonomic comfort workspace analysis of master manipulator for robotic laparoscopic surgery with motion scaled teleoperation system.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: In robotic surgery, a surgeon controls a surgical robot through a master manipulator in motion scaled teleoperation environment. However, there are no clear criteria for the master's workspace.

Design Model of Cultural and Creative Products Using User Perception Demand Mining.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
People are becoming more and more aware of the value of design throughout a product's entire life cycle as a result of the fierce competition for industrial products that exists today. The life of a product involves its design, manufacture, sale, and...

Study on Ergonomic Design of Artificial Intelligence Lower Limb Assist Brace for the Elderly.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
The ergonomic design study of artificial intelligence lower limb-assisted brace for the elderly is a new design standard of lower limb-assisted brace for the elderly with mobility problems. Based on human factors engineering, this study tested and an...

Development and evaluation of design guidelines for cognitive ergonomics in human-robot collaborative assembly systems.

Applied ergonomics
Industry 4.0 is the concept used to summarize the ongoing fourth industrial revolution, which is profoundly changing the manufacturing systems and business models all over the world. Collaborative robotics is one of the most promising technologies of...

Design of a Fuzzy Logic Evaluation to Determine the Ergonomic Risk Level of Manual Material Handling Tasks.

International journal of environmental research and public health
In this work, we propose a fuzzy inference as a decision support system built in the MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Designer for evaluating manual material handling risk conditions. The input variables for the fuzzy decision were: (1) the total time duration of ...

Evolution of the biomechanical dimension of the professional gestures of grinders when using a collaborative robot.

International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics : JOSE
Using a cobot could relieve workers of strenuous and repetitive tasks while preserving their expertise. To understand the consequences of using a cobot on the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), within a theoretical framework based on act...
