SYSTEM FOR ASSISTING AN OPERATOR IN A WORK STATION

A system for assisting an operator (1) in a work station (2), comprises at least one collaborative robot (12), with a respective robot electronic controller (ER), configured for conducting one or more operations in an open, non-protected space, adjacent and in cooperation with an operator (1), at least one active exoskeleton (6) including one or more electrically operated actuators, wearable by an operator (1) for receiving assistance in conducting one or more operations, a plurality of sensors (S) associable to the body of the operator (1) and configured for detecting at least one parameter, at least one system electronic controller (ES)2 configured for receiving signals (A1-A8) by said plurality of sensors (S) and for sending signals (B; C) to said one or more actuators of the at least one active exoskeleton (6) and to said robot electronic controller (ER) based on an elaboration of signals (A1-A8) received by said plurality of sensors (S), wherein the system electronic controller (ES) is configured and programmed for dynamically controlling the active exoskeleton (6) and the collaborative robot (12) so as to avoid collisions or injuries between the collaborative robot (12) and the operator (1) or conditions of lack of safety for the operator (1), and so as to enable the collaborative robot (12) to cooperate with the operator (1) by assuming positions suitable to the physical and physiological features, to the workload and to the postures of the operator (1).
