Outline of reasons and objectives
The sectors and channels for treating Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) have changed considerably in recent years due to the regulatory context and to the development of new technologies. In…

Objective : This study empirically investigates the embodiment of occupational exoskeletons (OEs) through repeated use.
Background : OEs are wearable devices designed to assist operators movements. Their embodiment the phenomenon by which…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Working under time constraints is particularly difficult for ageing workers. “Leeway” or “room for manoeuvre” may enable regulation strategies to be put in place or production contingencies to be coped with more…

The road haulage and logistics sector is of prime importance for the French economy. It is subjected to intense competitive pressures, and to ongoing modification of the socio-economic and regulatory context. These constraints are leading…

Industrial challenges described in the Industry 4.0 projects are focused on the importance of the human in a collaboration with the system and particularly with a robot. In this case, the collaborative robotics situation is analysed. By understanding…

Although in recent years, the balance has swung away from industry and farming towards services, the proportion of workers who have to do physically arduous work remains large. In work having high physical demands, maintaining physical functional…

In all human movements, in particular those related to work activities, variability is observed. Even for a repetitive task, trajectories, muscular activities, or exerted forces are never identical, both for different people and for the same person…

Time constraints can be particularly stressful for older workers in repetitive work. Opportunities for work rate regulation could offer a way of dealing with production variations. The aim of this laboratory study was to investigate the effects…
