This emphasis on a human-centered approach is a vital aspect in promoting resilience within manufacturing operations. In response, humans need to adjust to new working conditions, including sharing areas with no apparent separations and with simultaneous actions that might affect performance. At the same time, wearable technologies and applications with the potential to gather detailed and accurate human physiological data are growing rapidly. These data lead to a better understanding of evaluating human performance while considering multiple factors in human–robot collaboration. This study uses an approach for assessing human performance in human–robot collaboration. The assessment scenario necessitates understanding of how humans perceive collaborative work based on several indicators, such as perceptions of workload, performance, and physiological feedback. The participants were evaluated for around 120 min. The results showed that human performance improved as the number of repetitions increased, and the learning performance value was 92%. Other physiological indicators also exhibited decreasing values as the human performance tended to increase. The findings can help the industry to evaluate human performance based on workload, performance, and physiological feedback information. The implication of this assessment can serve as a foundation for enhancing resilience by refining work systems that are adaptable to humans without compromising performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"124 ","pages":"Article 104425"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142746381","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}

This study aims to explore the relationship between motion sickness induced by ship rolling and muscle activity in various sitting postures, with the goal of informing the optimization of ship seat designs to enhance passenger comfort. The research focuses on the angle of backrest inclination and head-neck position as key variables. Participants were seated on a six-degree-of-freedom platform simulating ship movements and rated their discomfort levels in different sitting postures while electromyographic (EMG) signals were collected from the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), upper trapezius muscles, and erector spinae muscles. The analysis investigated the correlation between muscle activity and motion sickness across different postures. The results indicate that a 22.5° reclined backrest angle minimizes motion sickness discomfort, while no significant correlation was found between head and neck position and motion sickness in this study, but the interaction between head and neck position and backrest angle needs further study. Differences in muscle activity were identified between motion-susceptible and non-susceptible individuals, with the former exhibiting higher activity in the SCM and upper trapezius muscles, leading to greater fatigue. Additionally, only the SCM showed opposite activity between men and women, while the changes in the upper trapezius and erector spinae muscles were basically the same. This study provides insights for optimizing ship seat design, contributing to the alleviation of motion sickness symptoms and enhancing passenger comfort. The findings hold significance for ship seat design and open new possibilities for the application of industrial design in the field of maritime engineering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"124 ","pages":"Article 104422"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142699914","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}

Low back and shoulder muscle activities, angles, moments, perceived exertion, and postural stability were measured. The results showed reduced L5/S1 and shoulder moments and angles; decreased muscle activities in the low back, shoulders, and upper extremities; and lower perceived exertion ratings and postural sway measures with the intervention.

Staggered seating arrangements and multi-functional use of available space were preferred features. The analysis also identified potential improvements, such as the inclusion of additional handholds and efficient HVAC systems, and underscored the need for central monitoring for emergency interventions during SAV operations.
