[Mental load of robot operation upon workers].

Y Okada

    Journal of UOEH
    |March 20, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Industrial robot integration increases worker mental stress. This study quantifies this load using physiological data, revealing robot tasks demand more careful labor hygiene than conveyor systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Industrial robotics
    • Human-robot interaction
    • Occupational health

    Context:

    • Widespread adoption of industrial robots in manufacturing settings.
    • Increasing concerns regarding worker mental stress during robot integration.
    • Need for objective assessment of physical and mental loads.

    Purpose:

    • To estimate the physical and mental load on factory workers interacting with industrial robots.
    • To analyze worker behavior using physiological indices (e.g., RMR, GSR, EOG) and video analysis.
    • To investigate the relationship between consciousness levels, response times, and psychological factors.

    Summary:

    • Worker interaction with industrial robots, specifically part transfer operations, was assessed for physical and mental strain.
    • Physiological measures and behavioral analysis indicated that robot operations impose a greater mental load compared to traditional conveyor systems.
    • The study also explored cognitive aspects, linking consciousness levels to response times and work-related senses.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the significant mental impact of industrial robot use on workers.
    • Underscores the necessity for enhanced operational control and labor hygiene in human-robot collaborative environments.
    • Provides a foundation for developing strategies to mitigate stress and optimize worker well-being in automated factories.
