AI4Work Project: Human-Centric Digital Twin Approaches to Trustworthy AI and Robotics for Improved Working Conditions...

AI and robotics aim to transform workplace landscapes in a several sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, construction, agriculture, and education. Central to this evolution is the innovative use of Digital Twin technology, which creates real-time updated virtual replicas of physical systems and entities. This technology is especially transformative in healthcare and education, promising customized and efficient experiences for all involved. This paper outlines the AI4Work project's approach to leveraging Digital Twin Technology to improve work environments in these sectors. The goal of AI4Work is to formulate a workplace where AI and robots seamlessly collaborate with humans, while explores how to best share tasks between humans and machines in six different domains. For healthcare, AI4Work will explore how Digital Twin technology can assist occupational doctors and psychologists in monitoring the physical and mental health of hospital personnel in order to predict burnout symptoms and to create a sustainable working environment. In education, AI4Work will investigate how to uphold the mental health of both educators and students while fostering a more supportive and enduring educational setting.
