“…A collaborative workplace not only improves economic performance, but can also improve overall ergonomics. With an ergonomic design and a proper segmentation of work activities, a robot can relieve a worker from an uncomfortable posture or fatigue from repetitive load handling [27,28]. The participation of ergonomists has proven to be a necessary condition for the design of collaborative technology and the importance of ergonomics, and its application in this field is growing [26].…”

Ergonomics Evaluation Using Motion Capture Technology—Literature Review

Due to the increasingly high proportion of manual activities in production processes, there is a constant risk of musculoskeletal disorders or work-related injuries. The risk of these problems is exacerbated by the trend towards an ageing working population. European legislation is pressing for improved working conditions to eliminate the risks associated with health problems for workers. For this reason, the application of ergonomics in this field is growing. Musculoskeletal disorders, which are most often caused by inappropriate working postures, are a major problem. There are many methods for evaluating working postures. However, there is a high degree of subjectivity in the risk assessment. Motion capture kinematic suits can ensure the objectivity of the assessment. This article discusses research on ergonomics assessment using motion capture technology. A systematic literature search method was used for the research, beginning with the determination of the research procedure, through the definition of the research queries, to the formulation of the research itself to identify relevant sources. The study presents the most widely used methods for assessing the ergonomics of work positions using motion capture technology, their advantages, and disadvantages. It also follows the trend in the number of publications between 2010 and 2022 in countries where the topic is most frequently addressed and in the industries where motion capture technology is used for ergonomics assessment in general. The research showed that this approach is most often used in industry and logistics, and less frequently in healthcare and sport. The authors agree that the most frequently used ergonomics assessment methods are not complex enough to be used in combination with motion capture and that a combination of the two is needed. At the same time, this technology has become very important in the field of ergonomic evaluation of work positions, offering a higher degree of objectivity, or can be combined with the use of virtual reality, but the evaluation systems are still not error-free and there is a need for continuous improvement.

“…In the context of the current reconfigurations of workplaces brought about by the most recent technological advances, issues such as the content and division of labor, the human-machine relationships, and emerging professional risks have still been little explored. Emphasis has mainly been given to the potential of new machines (e.g., automation of certain tasks; continuous production operations), favoring a techno-centered perspective (Barcellini, 2020;Kadir and Brodberg, 2020;Trentesaux and Millot, 2016). The representation of work from this perspective suggests less risky work environments driven by new technologies, with the promise of relieving human workers from monotonous and physically strainful tasks (Cimini et al, 2020;Kadir and Bordberg, 2020;Richert et al, 2016).…”

More than a Machine at Work: Exploring the Impacts of Technological Change on Mental Health

With the current technological transformations being developed, the focus seems to rely mainly on the increase of productivity and on promises of the reduction of physical constraints for workers. However, in the analysis of the new human-machine relationships induced by technological advances, other less visible impacts should be debated, namely for workers’ health and well-being. In a garment factory in Portugal, characterized by rigorous quality demands, sectored and short production cycles, with production times controlled by the minute, this study aims to analyze human-machine interactions from the point of view of their protagonists. A qualitative and participatory methodology was used (observations; individual and collective interviews; and moments of auto-confrontation). The results show how these work situations potentiate a "contained" suffering due to the lack of space for its verbalization, which ends up being managed individually, under penalty of being considered unfit for the work’s current demands.
