Personalizing Human–Robot Workplace Parameters in Human-Centered Manufacturing

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The research aims to investigate the relationship between collaborative robot (CR) parameters and worker utilization and system performance in human-robot collaboration (HRC) environments. The research also examines whether optimized parameters increase workplace efficiency and whether adapting these parameters to the individual worker improves workplace outcomes. Researchers have found that personalizing CR standards to individual workers significantly enhances efficiency and productivity. By balancing workloads and reducing stress, personalized approaches outperform traditional approaches. This human-centered strategy improves worker well-being and is consistent with modern manufacturing principles.

 

Generally, it is acceptable. Just after major revision for the following:

1.    Lines 43 to 50 are duplicated (copy/paste) in lines 82 to 89, check this especially since it is in the first one attributed to a reference. (How)

2.     Figure 1 may include a list of numbered components to be more illustrative or labeled. 

3.     Give some explanation for Figure 2 in line 118.

4.     Check the phase numbers in Figure2, last phase 7 or 5

5.     Abbreviations such as CW.

For Figure 3, define all abbreviations (HR, SD2, SNS index,

Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

P2: There are some repeated sentences with P1 in the introduction of ‘2. problem description’.. It will be helpful to explain the problem more precisely.

P6: How the parameter setups in S3 is decided depending on worker?

P7: Table 2 and Figure 5-6 give the same information so that it may be better use one of them.

P8: Why the reduction of SD of stress should be considered?

P9: How the stress index in section 3.2 is used in case study of section 3.3?

P10: Is computational simulation necessary in order to decide the best parameters?

P13: In experiments, how the skill differences among workers are controlled?

Comments on the Quality of English Language

Generall English language is good. It will be more helpful to clealy define some words such as parameters and so on in advance.
