Collaborative robots can help industry workers to improve their ergonomics. They can propose a safe and ergonomic posture to the workers to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Proposing an ergonomic stance needs postural evaluation and optimization. To optimize the workers' posture, we need to run the optimization on a cost function representing the ergonomic status. The tabular ergonomi...
