By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Current study results on Robotics-An droids have been published. According to news reporting originating in Raleigh, North Carolina, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Advances in robotics ha ve contributed to the prevalence of human-robot collaboration (HRC). However, wo rking and interacting with collaborative robots in close proximity can be psycho logically stressful." Financial support for this research came from National Science Foundation (NSF). The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from North Carolina State University (NC State), "Therefore, understanding the impacts of human-robot inte raction (HRI) on mental stress is crucial for enhancing workplace wellbeing. To this end, this study investigated how the HRI factors-presence, complexity, an d modality-affect the psychological stress of workers. We employed both the NA SA-Task Load Index for subjective assessment and physiological metrics including galvanic skin responses, electromyography, and heart rate for objective evaluat ion. An experimental setup was implemented in which human operators worked toget her with a collaborative robot on Lego assembly tasks, using different interacti on paradigms including pressing buttons, showing hand gestures, and giving verba l commands. The results revealed that the introduction of interactions during HR C helped reduce mental stress and that complex interactions resulted in higher m ental stress than simple interactions. Meanwhile, using hand gestures led to sig nificantly higher mental stress than pressing buttons and verbal commands."
