This study tackles on a new problem of estimating human-error potential on a shop floor on the basis of wearable sensors. Unlike existing studies that utilize biometric sensing technology to estimate people's internal state such as fatigue…
Different loading modes can significantly affect human gait, posture, and lower limb biomechanics. This study investigated the muscle activity intensity of the lower limb soleus muscle in the slope environment of young healthy adult male…
Decades of research in control theory have shown that simple controllers, when provided with timely feedback, can control complex systems. Pushing is an example of a complex mechanical system that is difficult to model accurately due to…
Working becomes harder as we grow tired or bored. I model individuals who underestimate these changes in marginal disutility -- as implied by "projection bias" -- when deciding whether or not to continue working. This bias causes people's…
Passive shoulder exoskeletons have been widely introduced in the industry to aid upper extremity movements during repetitive overhead work. As an ergonomic intervention, it is important to understand how users adapt to these devices over…
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic and the associated effects on the world of work, the burden on employees has been brought into focus. This fact also applies to agile software development teams in many companies due to the extensive switch to…
Un problema de gran interes en disciplinas como la ocupacional, ergonomica y deportiva, es la medicion de variables biomecanicas involucradas en el movimiento humano (como las fuerzas musculares internas y torque de articulaciones).…
The objectives of this work are to revisit the experimental measurements on dam break flow over a dry horizontal bed and to provide a detailed insight into the dynamics of the dam break wave impacting a vertical wall downstream the dam,…
The prevailing belief propagated by NBA league observers is that the workload of the NBA season dramatically influences a player's performance$^{1,2,3,4,5}$. We offer an analysis of cross game player fatigue that calls into question the…
User's mental state is concerned gradually, during the interaction course of human robot. As the measurement and identification method of psychological state, tension, has certain practical significance role. At presents there is no…
Pressing is a fundamental defensive strategy in football, characterized by applying pressure on the ball owning team to regain possession. Despite its significance, existing metrics for measuring pressing often lack precision or…
In the current age, human lifestyle has become more knowledge oriented leading to generation of sedentary employment. This has given rise to a number of health and mental disorders. Mental wellness is one of the most neglected but crucial…
Human movements are physical processes combining the classical mechanics of the human body moving in space and the biomechanics of the muscles generating the forces acting on the body under sophisticated sensory-motor control. The…
The motility of a cell can be triggered or inhibited not only by an applied force but also by a mechanically neutral force couple. This type of loading, represented by an applied stress and commonly interpreted as either squeezing or…
The mimicking of human-like arm movement characteristics involves the consideration of three factors during control policy synthesis: (a) chosen task requirements, (b) inclusion of noise during movement execution and (c) chosen optimality…
Humans are able to outperform robots in terms of robustness, versatility, and learning of new tasks in a wide variety of movements. We hypothesize that highly nonlinear muscle dynamics play a large role in providing inherent stability,…
Designing reinforcement learning (RL) problems that can produce delicate and precise manipulation policies requires careful choice of the reward function, state, and action spaces. Much prior work on applying RL to manipulation tasks has…
The work is devoted to a modern state, methods and tools of monitoring, assessment and prediction of the indicators showing physical condition of a person and his/her capabilities to perform work duties. The work contains an analysis of…
The assessment of energy expenditure in real life is of great importance for monitoring the current physical state of people, especially in work, sport, elderly care, health care, and everyday life even. This work reports about application…
Soft sleeve actuators (SSAs) have recently been developed as a pneumatic actuation approach for wearable and assistive robotic systems. By integrating the actuation structure into a sleeve-like geometry, these actuators can reduce reliance…
