Codesign of Humanoid Robots for Ergonomy Collaboration with Multiple Humans via Genetic Algorithms and Nonlinear Optimization [PDF]
Ergonomics is a key factor to consider when designing control architectures for effective physical collaborations between humans and humanoid robots. In contrast, ergonomic indexes are often overlooked in the robot design phase, which leads to suboptimal performance in physical human-robot interaction tasks.

Real-time Robot-assisted Ergonomics [PDF]
This paper describes a novel approach in human robot interaction driven by ergonomics. With a clear focus on optimising ergonomics, the approach proposed here continuously observes a human user's posture and by invoking appropriate cooperative robot movements, the user's posture is, whenever required, brought back to an ergonomic optimum.

A framework of motion capture system based human behaviours simulation for ergonomic analysis [PDF]
With the increasing of computer capabilities, Computer aided ergonomics (CAE) offers new possibilities to integrate conventional ergonomic knowledge and to develop new methods into the work design process. As mentioned in [1], different approaches have been developed to enhance the efficiency of the ergonomic evaluation.

Preventing and treatment of post-dural Puncture Headache
Post-dural Puncture Head (PDPH) is a common undesired side effect of lumbar puncture (LP). It is connected with the leakage of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) at the puncture site outside of spinal cord – in to the dura mater.
