Ergonomics Assessment in XR environments
Ergon-XR is an innovative training solution designed to enhance worker safety and efficiency in automated manufacturing. By leveraging extended reality (XR) technology, Ergon-XR provides a virtual environment where trainees can safely interact with industrial equipment—such as conveyors and collaborative robots—while minimizing ergonomic risks.
Trainees use XR headsets to practice tasks and learn best practices for reducing physical and cognitive stress. Meanwhile, trainers, equipped with their own headsets, monitor posture, repetitive movements, and cognitive load. The platform offers near real-time feedback based on standardized ergonomics metrics, enabling trainers to make dynamic adjustments and optimize training outcomes.
With customizable tools, Ergon-XR allows the creation of realistic, tailored workstations that align with individual trainee needs. By combining physical and cognitive risk assessments, Ergon-XR empowers workers to adapt to emerging technologies, fostering safer, healthier, and more productive manufacturing environments.
The Ergon-XR project is one of the winning projects of the MASTER-XR Open Call and it is led by the I-SENSE Group and CIBOS.
