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…

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…

Repetitive work at required pace, as observed on assembly lines, is often characterized by reduced amounts of temporal margin of maneuver (TMM). Various epidemiological studies have shown that working under time constraints is particularly…

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…

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
Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to physical, organisational, psychosocial, and environmental constraints at work can lead to a degradation in health. Various tools make it possible to assess such constraints…

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…
