Human-Oriented Design of Advanced Robotics Systems (Dars '95) : A Postprint Volume from the Ifac Workshop, Vienna, Austria, 19-20 September 1995

The first IFAC Workshop on Human-Orientated Design of Advanced Robotics Systems (DARS '95) was organized to assess new approaches for advanced robotic systems expected to be applied in industrial production and other areas, and the ergonomic, social and cultural aspects that must be considered if employees are to work with these systems. This postprint volume contains 33 of the 34 papers presented at the workshop and deals with: system design, especially of man-machine interface, for autonomous, semi-automonous and tele-operated mode and for tele-existence; organizational and social aspects with respect to the environment in which the system is embedded; cultural aspects due to different living and working traditions and conditions of the people involved; and economic aspects.
