Ergonomic methods for biomechanical risk factors assessment during work activity are usually based on human operator’s postures and forces while performing the work task. A basic analysis of the task can rely on questionnaires, interviews…

The present thesis is focused on the evaluation of the biomechanical risk factors of a work-station or work-situation at the design stage. Generally, this evaluation is based upon experimental observations on comparable work stations or physical…

Digital human models can be used for biomechanical risk factors assessment of a workstation and work activity design for which there is no physical equipment that can be tested using actual human postures and forces. Yet, using digital human…

This paper presents a new learning control framework for virtual humans in a physics-based virtual environment. This framework combines multi-objective control with learning technique. Multi-objective control is based on humanlike properties…

Technological developments in the field of collaborative robotics lead to the emergence of physical
assistance robots (PAR). In this context, Ferry Captain Foundry has decided to integrate a PAR for the finishing
tasks in order to maintain active…

Physical assistant robots, for which contact between a human being and the robot is intended, have now been joined by collaborative industrial robots that share the work space of the operating personnel. This raises the question of unintended…

Significant developments in robotics and protective device technologies have benefited the field of work equipment. As a result, a new type of machine has appeared in industry: collaborative robots, or “cobots”. Standard EN ISO 10218:2011 respecting…

Every year, employees are the victims of collisions with vehicles in accidents that can be serious and even fatal. In recent years, a range of pedestrian and obstacle detection systems have been developed for vehicles. These systems are often installed…

The issue of collisions between plant or site vehicles and pedestrians concerns numerous sectors of activity. Lack of visibility for drivers over their direct environments is one of the main causes of such accidents, which are often serious…

The use of detection devices in order to reduce the mobile machinery-pedestrian collision increase. Be careful however not to make this use as a priority of action. The technical solutions must be arised in complement as of organisational measurements…
