A Multi-stereo Camera System for Improving Physical Ergonomics in Human-Robot Collaboration Scenarios

Robot behaviour affects worker safety, health and comfort. Enhancing operator physical monitoring reduces the risk of accidents and musculoskeletal disorders. Within CPSoSAware, we propose a multi-stereo camera system and novel distributed fusion approaches that are executed on accelerated AI platforms, continuously monitoring the posture of the operators and assisting them to avoid uncomfortable and unsafe postures, based on their anthropometric characteristics and a real-time risk assessment standard methodology.
