Industrial revolution 4.0 has marked the era of advances in interaction among machines and humans and cultivate automation. However, manufacturing industries still have tasks which are labor intensive for humans with lots of repetitive actions. These actions along with other factors can cause the worker to be fatigued or exhausted. These in the long term can develop into work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD). Nevertheless, comprehending fatigue in a quantifiable and objective manner is yet an open problem due to the heterogeneity of subjects involved for data collection. In this study a benchmarking dataset comprising of physical fatigue attributes. They are used to perform fatigue prediction for manual material handling task. It includes data collected from Inertial Measurement unit (IMU) and Heart Rate (HR) sensor which is then pre-processed to extract to be used to run the model. The data serves as an input to a time-series prediction model called as Recurrent Neural Network (RNN).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
