Abstract:

A study on the employment of disabled people as forklift truck drivers for cargo handling operations is here presented. The work focused on the design of a customized forklift and the development of a novel lift machine as aid for people with paraplegia. Results of a market research about the usefulness of such a system is presented and a novel robotic modified forklift simulator has been realized and described. A final testing session is introduced to assess the performances of disabled and non-disabled people during typical logistic task executions.
