Abstract This paper introduces a web-platform system that performs semi-automatic compute of several risk indexes, based on the considered evaluation method (e.g., RULA—Rapid Upper Limb Assessment, REBA—Rapid Entire Body OCRA—OCcupational Repetitive Action) to support ergonomics estimation, and provides augmented analytics proactively improve ergonomic monitoring characteristics workers age, ge...

In this paper we evaluate a system based on the Microsoft Kinect™ sensor, aimed at automatic detection of risk postures during human work activities. We first introduce pick and place task, where three different lateral standing subjects move light cardboard boxes from various levels bookcase to its top, then putting them back their original places. They repeat task over several cycles capture ...
