Abstract

To obtain maximum benefit from the implementation of industrial robots, it is necessary to identify specific ergonomics problems and provide answers to such problems. Special features of a typical industrial robot are described. Specific ergonomics problems are identified and discussed: sociopsychological factors, systems safety design, communications, training, and workplace design. For the successful implementation of industrial robots, management should take timely action with regard to advanced planning procedures, user involvement plans, communication channels, company labor policies, and continuous training programs. The technological change from conventional to advanced manufacturing, such as industrial robots, must be jointly supported by all levels of management and workers. Β© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
