BODY LANGUAGE: BEST PRACTICES FOR ERGONOMIC PRODUCT DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY

摘要

Today's manufacturing environment, no longer the province of the strong man, integrates robotic and other automation technologies to eliminate the heavy physical toll that was once a part of most manufacturing operations. Here's how simulation and human-robot interaction technologies are changing manufacturing from ah ergonomics point of view.

Ensconced in his lab in Detroit, he has a front row seat to a manufacturing revolution.
