Exploring subjective and objective localized muscle fatigue responses at recommended upper limb ergonomics limits
… relative force intensity for a given level of repetitive work (i.e. duty cycle). Exposures at higher duty cycles (and lower force intensity) were found to elicit the largest LMF responses. This thesis concludes with practical recommendations to help ergonomists better assess and prevent the …

Autonomous ground cover clearing utilizing a robotic wheel loader
… such as sand, dirt and snow poses dangers to workers, from fatigue and repetitive work injures, to direct harm in hazardous locations. To address these challenges a robotic system capable of autonomous clearing of non-compacted material is presented, focusing on detection, clearing strategy …

Understanding, detecting, and repairing performance bugs
… TODDLER reports code loops whose computation has repetitive and partially similar memory-access patterns across loop iterations. Such repetitive work is likely unnecessary and can be done faster. TODDLER was implemented for Java and evaluated on 9 popular Java codebases. The experiments with 11 …
