ProMentoHR: Rethinking Human–Robot Collaboration
By Giulia Maria Marchetti, Matteo Vegetti
ProMentoHR focuses on collaborative assembly, a production mode in industrial settings in which operators and robots work together. Alongside mechanical safety, often considered the main priority, the initiative places particular emphasis on cognitive ergonomics (the mental workload of operators), which is essential for safety, well-being and performance.
The project studies the cognitive workload required of operators in collaborative assembly systems to understand how the design of these systems affects their work. The results contribute to the development of a practical tool supporting assembly system designers without specific expertise in human factors that reduces subjectivity in system design, promoting safer, more efficient and more sustainable systems.
