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...

Development of an Integrated Virtual Reality System with Wearable Sensors for Ergonomic Evaluation of Human-Robot Cooperative Workplaces.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This work proposes a novel virtual reality system which makes use of wearable sensors for testing and validation of cooperative workplaces from the ergonomic point of view. The main objective is to show, in real time, the ergonomic evaluation based o...

Robotic Handle Prototypes for Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery: Pre-clinical Randomised Controlled Trial of Performance and Ergonomics.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery is a promising alternative to transcranial approaches. However, standard instruments lack articulation, and thus, could benefit from robotic technologies. The aim of this study was to develop an ergonomic handl...

A comparison of laparoscopic and robotic ergonomic risk.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: Work related injuries in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) are common because of the strains placed on the surgeon's or assistant's body. The objective of this study was to compare specific ergonomic risks among surgeons and surgical tra...

Human-robot interaction: how worker influence in task allocation improves autonomy.

Ergonomics
Task allocation research is often efficiency-focussed, but procedural and work-psychological perspectives are required to enable human-centred human-robot interaction (HRI). Hence, the motivational and cognitive outcomes of the degree of worker influ...

Low-Cost Force Sensors Embedded in Physical Human-Machine Interfaces: Concept, Exemplary Realization on Upper-Body Exoskeleton, and Validation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In modern times, the collaboration between humans and machines increasingly rises, combining their respective benefits. The direct physical support causes interaction forces in human-machine interfaces, whereas their form determines both the effectiv...

Digital Twin-Driven Human Robot Collaboration Using a Digital Human.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Advances are being made in applying digital twin (DT) and human-robot collaboration (HRC) to industrial fields for safe, effective, and flexible manufacturing. Using a DT for human modeling and simulation enables ergonomic assessment during working. ...
