This paper presents an innovative approach to human-robot interaction through the use of a Kinect-type device for capturing the movement of a human operator, which is then accurately reproduced by a humanoid robot. The robot, standing at 110 cm, mimics a reduced-sized human and is crafted...

Exoskeletons were invented over 100 years ago but have only become popular in the last two decades, especially in the working industry as they can decrease work-related loads significantly. The most often used exoskeletons are for the lower back and shoulder since these are commonly affected...

In the context of industrial engineering, the predetermined time systems (PTS) play an important role in workplaces because inefficiencies are found in assembly processes that require manual manipulations. In this study, an approach is proposed with the aim to analyze time and motions in a...
