“…Figure 2 shows the number of articles per country. Our results allow us to say that the country where more studies have been developed in this field is Italy [1,12,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33], followed by the USA [8,34], United Kingdom [18,35], France [11,31], and Greece [22,36]. In the rest of the countries, only one study per country was found.…”

“…Regarding the year of publication, our study shows that the oldest paper presented in this review dates to 2013 [31] (Figure 3). Moreover, the largest number of studies found have been published in 2021 [11,12,19,22,27,32,33,37,38]. These two findings point ou that E&HF as a requirement in HRC systems is an emergent/recent research topic.…”

“…Another finding from our study is related to the ergonomics domain, namely physical or cognitive, and related to its ergonomic application, if offline or online (Figure 5). Sixteen [1,4,7,8,13,17,19,22,[27][28][29][30][31]36,37,40] of nineteen studies are related to physical ergonomics, while only six [11,32,34,35] are related to cognitive ergonomics. Regarding its application, only studies related to physical ergonomics presented an online application [1,12,18,22,33,38,40].…”

“…It presents the aim, the number of subjects in the experimental setup, and the main results of each study. The studies where a cognitive ergonomic requirement was considered can be divided into two major topics: assessing the impact of a collaborative workstation on the well-being of workers [12,32] and developing a framework for a trust-based integrated scheme for HRC [34,35]. The studies in the first topic aim to investigate the consequences on operators of a shared workplace with a Cobot, while the studies in the second topic aim to implement HRC solutions based on cognitive workload improvement.…”

There is a worldwide interest in implementing collaborative robots (Cobots) to reduce work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSD) risk. While prior work in this field has recognized the importance of considering Ergonomics & Human Factors (E&HF) in the design phase, most works tend to highlight workstations’ improvements due to Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). Based on a literature review, the current study summarises studies where E&HF was considered a requirement rather than an output. In this article, the authors are interested in understanding the existing studies focused on Cobots’ implementation with ergonomic requirements, and the methods applied to design safer collaborative workstations. This review was performed in four prominent publications databases: Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed, and Google Scholar, searching for the keywords ‘Collaborative robots’ or ‘Cobots’ or ‘HRC’ and ‘Ergonomics’ or ‘Human factors’. Based on the inclusion criterion, 20 articles were reviewed, and the main conclusions of each are provided. Additionally, the focus was given to the segmentation between studies considering E&HF during the design phase of HRC systems and studies applying E&HF in real-time on HRC systems. The results demonstrate the novelty of this topic, especially of the real-time applications of ergonomics as a requirement. Globally, the results of the reviewed studies showed the potential of E&HF requirements integrated into HRC systems as a relevant input for reducing WMSD risk.

Working with Robots as Colleagues: Kenyan Perspectives of Ethical Concerns on Possible Integration of Co-bots in Workplaces

Robots are moving closer to human beings especially in work environments. The entry of co-bots into workspaces raises many questions. One of the key questions surrounds the likely relationship between the co-bots and their co-workers. Are co-bots to be considered as colleagues or are they tools? What ethical issues emerge from this consideration in the context of Kenyan workspaces? This chapter discusses these questions in the Kenyan context. Data for the chapter was collected using qualitative interviews with 20 data scientists selected through information-oriented purposive sampling. The chapter concludes that there are six ethical issues which can influence the perceptions of co-bots by data scientists in Kenya. These include the concept of work as a divine gift to humanity which cannot be shared with machines; the notion that treating co-bots as legal persons equates them to human beings which is viewed as demeaning to humanity; the fear that co-bots will dominate and eventually replace humans in ordinary workspaces thereby denying the latter not just an opportunity to work but to livelihood too; fear of unintended social consequences of “anthropomorphisation”; lack of trust for machines created by limited humans to offer unlimited services and companionship; and discomfort with exotic robots entering professional but also indigenous spaces. Until these ethical issues are addressed comprehensively, it is unlikely that information scientists would unreservedly welcome co-bots into their workspaces as colleagues.
