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.
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...
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...
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...

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 ...
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...
Improved ergonomics for the operating surgeon may be an advantage of robotic colorectal surgery. Perceived robotic ergonomic advantages in visualisation include better exposure, three-dimensional vision, surgeon camera control, and line of sight scre...
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...

INTRODUCTION: In order to perform laparoscopic procedures, a surgeon requires an assistant to hold the camera. Problems with this approach include table crowding leading to poor ergonomics, and miscommunication leading to poor images. AutoLap is a no...
