Article Synopsis
- Heavy lifting tasks can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, prompting the need for strategies to reduce physical strain during work.
- This study used a digital human model to analyze different work motions and assess cumulative workload biomechanically through a specific torque motion index.
- Findings revealed that the shortest lifting route isn't always the best choice for reducing total body workload, highlighting the need for informed selection of work motions.
In running cars or trains, passengers often feel sleepy. Our study focuses on this physiological phenomenon. If a machine can reproduce this phenomenon, it is feasible to put a person, such as an insomnia patient or an infant, to sleep without any harmful effects.
