In the current industrial context, the importance of assessing and improving workers' health
conditions is widely recognised. Both physical and psycho-social factors contribute to …

Modeling human motor control and predicting how humans will move in novel environments
is a grand scientific challenge. Researchers in the fields of biomechanics and motor control …

The construction industry around the globe has unsatisfactory occupational health and
safety records. One of the major reasons is attributed to high physical demands and hostile …

In this paper, we propose a novel method for human–robot collaboration, where the robot
physical behaviour is adapted online to the human motor fatigue. The robot starts as a …

Factors such as repetitiveness of work, required application of forces, handling of heavy
loads, and awkward, static postures expose assembly line workers to risks of …

Embodied agents in continuous control domains have had limited exposure to tasks
allowing to explore musculoskeletal properties that enable agile and nimble behaviors in …

Work-related fatigue is a multidimensional phenomenon with significant effects on
operational performance. Our work focuses on how the literature of operational research …

The available learning and forgetting models do not consider the physical loading that
performing a task requires. In some situations, physical loading results in workers' fatigue on …

In this paper, we propose a method for selective monitoring and management of human
muscle fatigue in human-robot co-manipulation scenarios. The proposed approach uses a …

This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms
and ergonomic risks in female sewing machine operators at a textile company. The study …
