Abstract:
In the Industry 4.0 era, the focus has been on replacing human operators with industrial robots to reduce labors costs. However, it has led to various social and environmental challenges. Industry 5.0 aims to enhance human-robot collaboration (HRC) in intelligent manufacturing environments, promoting both efficiency and flexibility while prioritizing human operators’ health and well-being. This study reconfigures a new HRC systems, optimizes layout, and introduces a new Internet of Things (IoT) structure to monitor human-centric manufacturing processes. By utilizing medical-grade sensors for real-time collection of physiological data, the system ensures privacy compliance. The collected data are input into a artificial intelligence algorithm to achieve two main objectives: evaluating operator’s health levels and identifying the most efficient movement patterns during the manufacturing process. This research has significant implications for enhancing operator health and well-being in industrial settings.
