Exploring relationship between EMG, confusion and smoothness of work progress in assembly tasks

Published:01 May 2024Publication History

ABSTRACT

Analyzing an operator’s mental state is an important issue in manufacturing. In this paper, we focused on confusion and perceived smoothness of work progress. A 40-participant experiment was conducted in which participants performed two 50-minute assembly tasks and answered two self-report questions about perceived confusion and perceived smoothness of work progress after each step. The results showed that there was a moderate correlation between the two variables and the duration of the steps. In addition, our preliminary EMG analysis showed that there was a moderate correlation between EMG and perceived confusion.
