Experiments in ergonomic robot-guided manipulation

چکیده
Repetitive manual materials handling of heavy loads is common in assembly and is a common cause of low back disorders. The manual manipulation of a heavy load may be made more comfortable by constraining the load to move along a guide. The frictionless guide directs the motion of the load to the goal con guration as the human operator provides forces in directions that are comfortable. In this paper we present our rst experimental results in guided manipulation with the purpose of understanding motions and forces that are comfortable for human operators.

Manual materials handling of heavy loads is a common cause of low back disorders. The manual manipulation of a heavy load may be made more comfortable by constraining the load to move along a guide. If the load is constrained, the human operator can provide forces in directions that are comfortable while the frictionless guide directs the motion of the load to the goal con guration.

This paper aims to discuss the requirements of safe and smooth trajectory planning of transporter mobile robots to perform non-prehensile object manipulation task. In non-prehensile approach, the robot and the object must keep their grasp-less contact during manipulation task. To this end, dynamic grasp concept is employed for a box manipulation task and corresponding conditions are obtained an...

The growing number of musculoskeletal disorders in industry could be addressed by the use of collaborative robots, which allow the joint manipulation of objects by both a robot and a person. Designing these robots requires to assess the ergonomic benefit they offer. Current methods use a posteriori assessment, i.e. observation of a worker performing the task, and require a physical mock-up of t...
