Abstract: A system for assisting an operator in a work station includes a collaborative robot, with a robot electronic controller, configured for conducting an operation in an open, non-protected space, adjacent and in cooperation with the operator, an exoskeleton including one or more actuators, wearable by the operator for receiving assistance in conducting one or more operations, a plurality of sensors associable to the body of the operator and configured for detecting at least one parameter. An electronic controller is configured for receiving signals by the sensors and for sending signals to the one or more actuators of the exoskeleton and to the robot controller based on an elaboration of signals received by the sensors, wherein the system controller is configured and programmed for dynamically controlling the exoskeleton and the robot so as to avoid collisions or injuries between the robot and the operator or conditions of lack of safety for the operator, and to enable the robot to cooperate with the operator by assuming positions suitable to the physical and physiological features, to the workload and to the postures of the operator.

Abstract: Described herein is a sensorized glove, in particular designed for ergonomic analysis, including an inner glove, which comprises a plurality of extensometer sensors configured for detecting relative movements between parts of a worker's hand; and an outer glove, which comprises a plurality of pressure sensors distributed over a palmar surface and configured for detecting the pressure exerted in corresponding areas of said palmar surface. Moreover described is a corresponding method for determining the type of grasp exerted by a worker.
