Improving Workers’ Musculoskeletal Health During Human-Robot Collaboration Through Reinforcement Learning

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.

TL;DR: The proposed model-free reinforcement learning method can learn the optimal worker postures without the need for specific biomechanical models and can be applied to improve the occupational safety in robot-implemented factories. (via Semantic Scholar)
