One of the key interesting features collaborative robotic applications is potential to lighten worker workload and potentiate better working conditions. Moreover, developing robotics that meets ergonomic criteria not always a straightforward endeavor. We propose framework guide safe design conceptualization ergonomic-driven workstations. A multi-disciplinary approach involving ergonomics human ...

The Swedish MultiG program addresses research issues in distributed multimedia workstation applications, including CSCW, and high-speed networks. This report treats some basic CSCW issues in a distributed design environment. We review and analyse relevant literature on system design and computer supported cooperation and discusses the basic issues: What is design?What is collaboration in design...

A DBMS kernel architecture is proposed for improved DB support of engineering applications running on a cluster of workstations. Using such an approach, part of the DBMS codeman applicationspecific layermis allocated close to the corresponding application on a workstation while the kernel code is executed on a central server. Empirical performance results from DB-based engineering applications ...

This paper introduces the design approaches of a Chinese-character and graphics workstation OOS-80OO which has been developed at the Computer Graphics Research Laboratory, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University. The specifications, architecture, Chinese-character processing environment and working modes of the workstation are described. Especially the 110 interface ...
