Establishing an anthropometric database: a case for the Portuguese working popu...
Filho, Paulo César Anacleto; Silva, Lincoln; Mattos, Diego Luiz; Pombeiro, Ana; Castellucci, H. I.; Colim, Ana S.; Carneiro, P.; Arezes, P.Up-to-date anthropometric databases can help design appropriate workstations and equipment, reducing occupational accidents and disorders. The primary aim of this study was to create a company database to support the hypothesis that the latest anthropometric database for the Portuguese working population was outdated. Through the traditional manual measurement method, this work collected data on 27 dimensions f...

Lucas, Ruan Eduardo Carneiro; Riascos, Carmen Elena Martinez; Mattos, Diego Luiz; Ariente Neto, Rafael; Carneiro, P.; Merino, Giselle Schmidt Alves DíazBackground: The occupational activities carried out in hospital environments pose occupational risks to professionals. In psychiatric hospitals, due to the characteristics of the patients treated, professionals are also subjected to other risks, such as physical aggression. Objective: This research aimed to identify the systemic context, highlighting the cause-and-effect relationships that culminate in occupati...
Assessment of work-related musculoskeletal disorders by observational methods i...
Kirkici Gonçalves, Hatice; Cardoso, João André Vieira; Mattos, Diego Luiz; Borges, Guilherme Deola; Filho, Paulo César Anacleto; Colim, Ana S.Repetitive movements play an important role in the growing and aggravation of the discomforts related to the musculoskeletal system. There are many different observational methods for risk assessment for repeated movements in literature. The main objective of this review is to identify the observational methods that have been used to assess repetitive movements risk in previous studies. A systematic literature ...

Borges, Guilherme Deola; Mattos, Diego Luiz; Cardoso, João André Vieira; Kirkici Gonçalves, Hatice; Pombeiro, Ana; Colim, Ana S.; Carneiro, P.Objective: To simulate the interaction human-robot regarding productivity, physical and mental workload, involving the worker in the process of implementing a new Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) system. Background: The guidelines for designing ergonomic and management of work systems are key to ensure worker safety, health, and wellbeing. It considers physical and mental workloads, including worker in the proce...
A computational assessment of ergonomics in an industrial human-robot collabora...
Borges, Guilherme Deola; Ariente Neto, Rafael; Mattos, Diego Luiz; Merino, Eugenio Andres Diaz; Carneiro, P.; Arezes, P.An automotive company in Portugal has a high rate of sick leave due to occupational diseases where it is planned the insertion of an industrial Human-Robotic Collaboration (HRC) system to assist workers’ activities. As this system can result in physical and mental overload, depending on the different Levels of Collaboration (LoC), the aim of this paper is to predict what would be the best working condition betw...
