Abstract

“KEIROKA” is a new concept of work assistance that aims to simultaneously reduce physical burden and maintain physical capacity with the goal of extending healthy working life. Two important findings are necessary for the appropriate introduction of KEIROKA assistive technologies, such as power-assistive suits and work support robots, into the field. One is to know the physical abilities and skills of each worker. The other is to quantify the work content and physical burden of each worker. We have tested the physical performance of construction workers, conducted questionnaires on back pain, and also measured their physical workload using wearable sensors. The workload did not change with the presence or absence of LBP and age but tended to change with physical ability. 詳細
