Article:

The nature of craft has often been dictated by the type and nature of the tool. Theauthors intend to establish a new relationship between a mechanically articulatedtool and a human through the development a symbiotic relationship betweenthem. This study attempts to develop and deploy a framework for collaborativerobotic masonry involving one mason and one industrial robotic arm. This studyaims to study the harmful posture and muscular stress developed during theconstruction work and involve a robotic arm to aid the mason to reduce thecumulative damage to one's body. Through utilization of RGBD sensors andsurface electromyography procedure the study develops a framework thatdistributes the task between the mason and robot. The kinematics andelectromyography detects the fatigue and harmful postures and activates therobot to collaborate with the mason in the process.
