Industrial exoskeleton for human-centric smart manufacturing:Challenges,progress and prospects
Human-centric is one of the important features of Industry 5.0,and realizing human-centric safety produc-tion is the basic requirement of human-centric smart manufacturing under the background of Industry 5.0.There are still some scenarios in industrial production that cannot be separated from people's fine operation and intelligent de-cision-making.In these scenarios,realizing human-centric safe production can protect workers'safety and improve production efficiency.Industrial exoskeletons can help workers reduce physical burdens and risks,and improve the efficiency and reliability of safe production.To promote our country's industrial exoskeletons to better assist workers in safe production in industrial scenarios such as automobile assembly,power maintenance,and mine construction,the research progress of industrial exoskeletons at home and abroad was summarized,and exoskeletons were divided into industrial exoskeleton for posture maintenance and industrial exoskeleton for load lifting,and focus on six as-pects:custom design of industrial exoskeleton,design of exoskeleton control system considering human factors,hu-man-robot trust relationship,industrial exoskeleton information perception,human-robot interaction and variable stiffness drive modes.The key technology for realizing human-centric safe production was analyzed,and the technical development trend of industrial exoskeleton for safe production was summarized and forecasted.
