人类与机器人协作等辅助技术有可能在社会和经济活动中缓解身体移动障碍者的生活。目前，这一群体的经济参与率较低，原因是缺乏适合其能力的适当环境。我们仔细研究了在工作场所的人机合作环境中，有身体移动障碍的人的需求和偏好。具体来说，我们的目标是设计如何控制机器人手臂在制造任务的人与身体移动障碍。我们提出了一个庇护车间作为一个机构，雇用残疾人在制造业工作的原型的案例研究。在这里，我们收集了潜在的最终用户的数据与身体移动障碍，社会工作者和监督员使用参与式设计技术（未来车间）。这些利益攸关方被分为两组，主要用户（最终用户）和次要用户（社会工作者，监督员），这是在两个单独的会议运行。对收集到的信息进行了专题分析，以揭示各利益攸关方的基本主题。我们确定了一些概念，这些概念突出了与机器人在社会和组织结构中的适应、人机协同和人机问题管理相关的潜在问题。在本文中，我们提出了我们的研究结果，并讨论了每个主题的影响时，塑造一个包容性的人-机器人合作工作站的人与身体移动障碍。
Assistive technologies such as human-robot collaboration, have the potential to ease the life of people with physical mobility impairments in social and economic activities. Currently, this group of people has lower rates of economic participation, due to the lack of adequate environments adapted to their capabilities. We take a closer look at the needs and preferences of people with physical mobility impairments in a human-robot cooperative environment at the workplace. Specifically, we aim to design how to control a robotic arm in manufacturing tasks for people with physical mobility impairments. We present a case study of a sheltered-workshop as a prototype for an institution that employs people with disabilities in manufacturing jobs. Here, we collected data of potential end-users with physical mobility impairments, social workers, and supervisors using a participatory design technique (Future-Workshop). These stakeholders were divided into two groups, primary (end-users) and secondary users (social workers, supervisors), which were run across two separate sessions. The gathered information was analyzed using thematic analysis to reveal underlying themes across stakeholders. We identified concepts that highlight underlying concerns related to the robot fitting in the social and organizational structure, human-robot synergy, and human-robot problem management. In this paper, we present our findings and discuss the implications of each theme when shaping an inclusive human-robot cooperative workstation for people with physical mobility impairments.
