Advancements in cognitive ergonomics integration with human-robot collaboration, workload management, and industrial applications

2024 , Ahmad Humaizi Hilmi , Asna Rasyidah Abd Hamid , Wan Abdul Rahman Assyahid Wan Ibrahim

Cognitive ergonomics is increasingly essential in modern industries, particularly in human-robot collaboration (HRC), where it addresses mental workload, decision-making, and overall worker well-being. As industrial systems transition into Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0, the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) into human-centered processes necessitates the management of cognitive load. Cognitive ergonomics enhances workplace efficiency by optimizing human-system interactions, reducing mental strain, and improving task performance in complex environments. By focusing on real-time workload management, including the use of biosensors and eye-tracking technologies, industries can monitor cognitive strain, allowing for immediate task adjustments to maintain productivity and safety. Cognitive ergonomics also plays a pivotal role in enhancing human factors in HRC by aligning machine design with human mental capabilities. Effective human-machine interfaces (HMIs) based on cognitive ergonomic principles improve decision-making, reduce errors, and enhance user satisfaction. As industries continue to adopt advanced robotics, the mental demands on workers increase, making cognitive ergonomics crucial for mitigating risks associated with cognitive overload. Future trends point toward the integration of cognitive ergonomics with emerging technologies like AI, wearable devices, and virtual reality (VR), offering new avenues for workload management and decision support. These advancements aim to balance the cognitive demands on workers, ensuring that systems are designed to enhance performance without causing mental fatigue or stress. Overall, cognitive ergonomics remains a vital component in ensuring the well-being and efficiency of workers in technologically advanced industrial environments.

Human-centered ergonomic: advancements, challenges, and future directions in industrial and occupational settings

2024 , Ahmad Humaizi Hilmi , Asna Rasyidah Abdul Hamid , Wan Abdul Rahman Assyahid Wan Ibrahim

The field of human-centered ergonomics has evolved significantly, especially in industrial and occupational settings, where the focus is on optimizing worker performance and well-being through the integration of advanced technologies. This review paper explores the key advancements, challenges, and future directions in ergonomics as they relate to Industry 4.0, cognitive ergonomics, aging workforces, and sustainable manufacturing. With the rise of Industry 4.0, technologies such as motion capture, virtual reality, and autonomous systems have proven to be invaluable tools in addressing ergonomic risks while improving productivity. These innovations enable better task design and human-machine interactions, reducing both physical strain and cognitive load. However, the integration of technology also presents challenges, particularly for the aging workforce, which is more susceptible to ergonomic stressors. Ergonomic interventions such as assistive devices, like exoskeletons, and tailored workspace designs are critical for maintaining productivity and health among older workers. Furthermore, the review discusses the role of ergonomics in sustainable manufacturing, highlighting how ergonomic principles contribute to environmental goals by reducing energy consumption, waste, and physical strain. Cognitive ergonomics, which addresses mental workload and human-computer interaction, is another crucial area explored in this paper. As automation increases, optimizing human cognitive performance is essential to reducing errors and enhancing safety in complex work environments. In conclusion, while advancements in technology offer promising solutions to many ergonomic challenges, the future of human-centered ergonomics will require continued research and innovation to address the evolving needs of workers in diverse and technologically advanced environments. The ongoing development of ergonomic interventions that balance human well-being with industrial efficiency will remain central to the future of work.
