Among the influential factors of riding comfort, motion sickness (MS) has attracted lots of attention in previous research, and both trust and MS have been found to be associated with human-machine interface (HMI) designs in AVs. However, previous research on trust and MS in AVs predominantly utilized driving simulations or \"Wizard of Oz\" methods, which failed to introduce risk and realistic vehicle motions, potentially introducing bias to conclusions. For the first time, our study investigated the impact of displaying the dynamic path trajectories of AVs on passengers' perceptions of system transparency, trust, and MS in a commercially running AV. The results from 16 participants and 32 rides revealed limited effects of the dynamic path trajectory on trust, and a discernible but statistically non-significant trend in MS alleviation. Further, we found that the initial riding experience was more important in trust enhancement than subsequent rides. These results provide insights into future HMI design in robot taxis and suggest directions for future research in trust enhancement and MS alleviation in AVs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 104580"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144290580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The independent variable was the magnification of the Galilean system loupes at four levels (naked eye, 2.5×, 3.0 × , and 3.5× magnification). Students performed Class I teeth preparations on the maxillary first molar using a dental mannequin, and postures were recorded on photographs during the procedure. The “Software for Postural Assessment” (version 0.69) analyzed the angular deviation and working distance. Muscle activity was assessed bilaterally using surface electromyography of the descending trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles. Descriptive statistical analysis and one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (rANOVA) was conducted (α = 0.050). As a result, a greater angular deviation of the neck was observed with the naked eye during tooth preparation (p < 0.001). However, different magnifications did not affect the muscle activity (p = 0.050–0.911) or working distance (p = 0.136). It was possible to conclude that, regardless of the magnification, using Galilean loupes reduced angular deviation; however, it did not influence muscle activity or working distance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 104579"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144290579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants completed simulated industrial tasks in overhead or squatting postures, with and without exoskeleton support.

The use of an upper-body exoskeleton during the overhead task resulted in overall slower motor performance, while using a lower-body exoskeleton during the squatting task increased intra-individual variability in motor performance. Mixed results were observed for attention performance and mental workload measures, indicating both potentially beneficial and detrimental effects. Findings suggest that exoskeleton use can affect both motor and attention task performance, as well as intra-individual variability, which may be related to restricted movement, poor exoskeleton fit, and pain, though these effects may be task- and system-specific. Performance variability metrics may offer unique insights beyond mean performance measures in evaluating exoskeleton impacts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 104567"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144223155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
