Collaborative robots (cobots) could help humans in tasks that are mundane, dangerous or where direct human contact carries risk. Yet, the collaboration between and is severely limited by aspects of safety comfort operators. In this paper, we outline use extended reality (XR) as a way to test develop with robots. We focus on virtual (VR) simulating scenarios cobot digital twins. This specifically useful situations difficult even impossible safely real life, such scenarios. describe using XR...

AbstractAbstractBased on emotional labor theory, we aim to study the relationships between dimensions of (requirements and strategies), work engagement, occupational identity in Portuguese police officers. Therefore, intend explore possible effects both engagement identity, as well ways preventing and/or mitigating impact these relationships. We identified a gap studies this subject Portugal, particularly context professionals. Thus, sample 924 officers Public Security Police (PSP) was asked...

Industry 4.0, characterized by the integration of advanced technologies across various industrial domains, is now evolving into 5.0, which emphasizes human perspective, resilience, and sustainability. In this context, study behavior attitudes towards human–robot interaction (HRI) crucial for understanding acceptance emerging technology, which, in turn, can drive development more well‐designed robotic systems. This paper aimed at translating, adapting, validating a scale designed to measure...

Recently there has been an increasing demand for technologies (automated and intelligent machines) that brings benefits to organizations society. Similar the widespread use of personal computers in past, today’s needs are towards facilitating human-machine technology appropriation, especially highly risky regulated industries like robotics, manufacturing, automation, military, finance, or healthcare. In this context, trust can be used as a critical element instruct how interaction should...

Achieving the balance between work and family life needs a holistic viewpoint on how these two aspects interact. It poses significant challenge due to its impact individuals, organizations, society. Research suggests that employees engaged in both spheres tend exhibit more favorable attitudes, experience improved health wellbeing. In this study, we examined interplay work–family dynamics engagement among 654 university professors Portugal. Using several statistical methods, including...

Industry 4.0 introduced a new change in paradigms and technologies the industry. In shop schedule, it gains holistic viewpoint online demands, real-time reactive methodologies. Developments scheduling area are critical to success. First addressed by Brucker Schlie 1990, Flexible Job-Shop Scheduling Problem has been attracting researchers practitioners over last decades. This body of research may be helpful address industry high flexibility problems. article uses bibliometric approach study...

Collaborative robots are an indispensable element of both industry 4.0 and 5.0, the latter which gives special emphasis to human facet human-robot collaboration. To facilitate such interaction, attention should be given design cobot, including its interface, enables communication with user. Programming through interface performing a task robotic device responsible for user experience (UX), comprises pragmatic hedonic aspects. In order most positive users, their perspectives must considered,...

Abstract Background This paper is focused on two indicators which may be considered as proxies of individuals’ well-being: self-assessed health and burnout intensity. There little research relating these concepts with the type primary healthcare setting, its urbanization density region. The aims this work are threefold: (i) to find determinant factors individual status burnout, (ii) possible differences across different types care units, differently urbanized areas, administrative regions,...

The working environment is a crucial aspect to considerfor guaranteeing sustainable life. However, workers are exposed various health risks daily, namely, psychological risks. These can be due imbalances on the part of themselves or organisational and inter-functional risk factors arising from interactions within companies challenges professional responsibilities. Over past 20 years, Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) has become one most prominent tools for assessing social at...

As robots become increasingly common in a wide variety of domains, there is an increasing need to assess the trust humans have when interacting with robots. Specifically are two main objectives this study: 1) adapt and validate Human-Computer Trust Model Scale (HCTM) human-robot interaction (HRI), Portuguese population. This because automation has been understood through its analogy interpersonal trust. With HCTM we intend suggest alternative that. measure very recent scale, 2019, based on...

Grounded in the Emotional Labour Theory, we aim to study relationship between emotional demands (the expression of positive emotions and suppression negative emotions) work engagement a sample Portuguese police officers. We intend explore possible effects these on ways preventing and/or mitigating its impact. When analysing studies conducted context, found gap regarding regulation. Accordingly, 924 officers from Public Security Police (PSP) answered Emotion Work Requirements Scale Utrecht...

Eye gaze is a prominent feature of human social lives, but little known on whether fitting eyes machines makes humans trust them more. In this study we compared subjective and objective markers when collaborating with eyed non-eyed robots the same type. We used virtual reality scenes in which manipulated distance presence robot's display during simple collaboration scenes. found that while cobots resulted slightly higher ratings, such as pupil size task completion time indicated it was fact...

Background: Industry 5.0 represents a novel approach that builds upon the advancements of 4.0 and is aimed at fostering more harmonious relationship between humans machines to prioritize resource efficiency usercentered manufacturing.Objective: This paper presents study, integrated in COBOSHe project, for assessing analyzing cognitive workload fatigue, using heart rate (HR) perceived scale related car engine assembly which robot human operator are performing tasks shared workspace.Method:...

The use of collaborative robots in industries is growing rapidly. To ensure the successful implementation these devices, it essential to consider user experience (UX) during their design process. This study aimed at testing UX goals that emerge when users interact with a robot programming and collaborating phases. A framework on will be tested, geographical context Portugal. For that, an experimental setup was introduced form laboratory case which human–robot collaboration (HRC) evaluated by...

In public security policing, where pressure is constant, effective decision-making and emotion regulation are critical, especially for leaders. These processes significantly impact upon work results, performance, officials’ health, employee well-being, the organizational environment. This study aims to broaden understanding of styles emotion-regulation strategies used by police officials in Portuguese Public Security Police (PSP). We surveyed 138 high-ranking using two self-response...

We live in a complex and uncertain reality where technology such as robotics will mostly augment its market size. This evolution impact future engineers their professional lives. Increasing trust interaction with collaborative robots also known cobots is relevant to decrease uncertainty our volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous (VUCA) world. research aimed analyze the extent which different higher education courses that students attend (mechanical engineering, industrial engineering...

ABSTRACT Based on a developmental approach, this study intended to analyze the extent which different stages of group development differ regarding use knowledge management processes. The sample comprised 211 teams belonging Portuguese military organization. In order test hypotheses multivariate analysis variance was conducted. results showed that more mature and cooperative groups (Restructuring/Realization phase) apply greater degree processes management, while in there is high intragroup...
