Recently, as work strength is deepened, as well, labor environments is changed, simple and iterative worker's Cumulative Trauma Disorders(CTD) is gradually being increased. Accordingly, this study was designed to represent its system design to carry out their iterative and simple task by machine through the difference of muscle fatigue between worker on handling line and worker under the work environments by Air Balance System for the purpose of analyzing their muscle fatigue test according to fulfillment of iterative and simple task. From the result of this study, with regard to the comparison of muscle fatigue between work on handling line and work on automation line on the occasion of refractory brick loading, their muscle fatigue extent under the work environments by Air Balance system was lower than it of handling by AMEG(64.1%), MF(65.3%), MPF(64.3%), ZCR(63.6%) respectively. And also, generally there showed similar transfer at the aspect of muscle mobilization. In other words, we can say that work environments by Air Balance System is beneficial at the aspect of alleviating works' fatigue extent on handling line. As well, the result of this study shows that worker's exposure to Cumulative Trauma Disorders(CTD) is relatively low.

According to the results of this study, we found through preliminary research that most of the workers studied suffered from some sort of musculoskeletal injury, but did not obtain hospital treatment, which shows that although their work was the source of injury, they did not realize the significance of their injury. In addition, there were some subjects that did not even know what musculoskeletal injuries were and in order to solve such problems, companies need to educate their workers about musculoskeletal injuries and show the significance of the injuries. Also, there was a difference in rates of musculoskeletal injuries in different occupations, with higher rates of injury in esthetics, driving and packaging positions. This calls for the use of automated machinery and alteration of the working environment to make it more ergonomic according to the recommended improvement plan, and continuous effort and support on the part of the company in order to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

로봇의 어원은“로보타(Robota)"로 체코의 유명극작가 카렐차펙이 1920년에 쓴 희곡에서 처음 소개되었으며, 이는 체코어로 "강제적 노동 또는 노예"를 뜻한다. 로봇의 생산은 1980년대부터 본격적으로 시작되었으며, 2000년까지는 주로 산업현장에서 용접, 도장, 조립과 같은 작업을 수행하는 산업용 로봇이 생산되었다. 이들 로봇은 사람이라면 쉽게 지치거나 부주의해지기 쉬운 단순 반복작업을 고정된 위치에서 지정된 작업을 반복적으로 수행하도록 설계되어 사람보다 더 빠르고 정밀하게 일을 수행함으로써 생산성 향상에 중요한 역할을 담당하였다.

This study analyzes human error of workers performing simple repetitive tasks, and in order to prepare preventative measures, 486 people were used as subjects. The results of the study are like the following. First, the biggest cause of human error showed to be the worker himself in $77.8\%$ of the cases, machinery showed to be the cause in $16.3\%$ of the cases and management showed to be the cause in $6.0\%$ of the cases. The results show that most of the human error occurred due to the worker performing simple repetitive tasks and the human errors showed to be caused more by bad ergonomics and long hours rather than by problems with machinery. In addition, the area with the highest rate of human error showed to be the Human Information Processing System with Task Input Error being the highest with $46.9\%$, followed by Judgement and Memory Error with $36.4\%$ and Recognition Verification Error with $16.7\%$. Although fully automated tasks may reduce the rate of human error we must focus on lowering the rate of problems arising from spontaneous errors caused by workers performing simple repetitive tasks by continuously renewing plans and budgets in order to standardize tasks by incorporating cyclic positioning according to experience and positional exchange and by inspecting the workplace to increase efficiency of the workers.

과채류 수확작업은 어렵고 힘든 지루한 작업이 반복적으로 수행된다. 지상 1m내외에서 결과하는 과채류의 경우 수확 중 많은 노동력을 필요로 한다. 특히 오이의 수확은 연속된 단순 반복 작업으로 작업인의 피로도가 매우 높다. 또한 농산물 수입개방으로 값싼 외국산 농산물이 대량 유입되고 있는 실정으로 농산물의 생산비 절감을 통한 대외 경쟁력을 갖추기 위해서는 과채류 수확에 있어서 로봇을 이용한 수확기 개발이 필요한 실정이다. (중략)

최근 국내의 산업재해율 증가에 있어 특이한 사항은 근골격계질환, 뇌심혈관질환 등 작업 관련성질환에 의한 증가 현상이다. 특히 단순반복작업, 중량물 취급작업, 부적절한 작업자세 등에 의하여 신체에 과도한 부담을 주었을 때 나타나는 요통, 경견완장해 등 근골격계질환은 매년 급증하고 있으며(Table 1 참조) 향후에도 지속적인 증가가 예상된다.(중략)

로보트는 현재 그 이용이 다양하고 또 새로운 개발에 따라 점차 그 용도가 광범위함으로 용어의 뜻도 여러가지로 해석되고 있다. 단순반복작업이나 작업환경이 위험한 상황에서 시작된 로보트의 이용은 이제 모든 산업분야에서 또 나아가서는 모든 생활영역에서 그 활용가능성을 한번쯤 검토하게 될 정도로 인간의 현재 작업능력을 쫓아오고 있는 실정이다. 프로그램이 가능한 다기능 머뉴푸레이터라는 정의로 부터 생체의 운동부의 기능에 유사한 유연한 동작기능을 갖는 것이라고 정의되고 있는 다양성있는 로보트를 기계공학의 입장에서 살펴보기 위하여 우선 기계공업의 특성과 문제점을 서술하고 그 합리화 방안의 하나인 산업용로보트의 현황과 기계공학과의 관계를 알아보고자 한다.

The CTD(Cumulative Trauma Disorder) as a new kind of occupational disease occurs mainly to workers on handling line under the highly-specialized industrial environments. This study took into account their exposure to Cumulative Trauma Disorders(CTD) by the utilization of EMG system, with respect to worker's muscle fatigue test according to fulfillment of iterative and simple task. The findings of this study were as follows : From the result of AEMG test analysis, worker's fatigue extent according to elapsed time of task was inclined to be increased continually. On the other hand, after its task ending, their fatigue extent was inclined to be decreased than before-circumstance of refractory brick lifting. The transference of MF(Median Frequency) and MPF(Mean Power Frequency) had highly significant difference between muscle fatigue and the elapsed time of work. Especially, their fatigue extent to erectorspinae and multifidus to lift firebrick was increased in the mean time. The transference of ZCR(Zero Crossing Rate) had considerable significant difference between muscle fatigue and the elapsed time of work. In short, as the work went of the muscle fatigue extent increased gradually. Thus, it can be concluded that the fatigue of erectorspinae and multifidus extent according to fulfillment of iterative and simple task is gradually being increased.

작업관련 근골격계 질환은 최근 사업장의 집단적인 발병, 산업재해자수의 급증 등으로 인하여 주된 문제가 되고 있다. 특히, 자동차, 선박 등의 제조업에서 이러한 문제는 노사간의 갈등을 야기하는 주 요인으로 작용하여 사회적 이슈로 대두되었다. 이러한 산업재해 율 증가는 근골격계질환의 뇌심 혈관질환 등 작업관련성질환이 주도하고 있는 현상이다. 특히, 단순반복작업, 중량물 취급작업, 부적절한 작업자세 등에 의하여 신체에 과도한 부담을 주었을 때 나타나는 요통, 경견완장해 등 근골격계 질환은 매년 급증하고 있으며 향후에도 지속적인 증가가 예상된다. 이로 인하여 생산성 저하, 근로의욕저하, 품질저하 등으로 경영손실은 물론 직접 의료비의 부담이 커지고 있는 실정이다. 이와 동시에 근골격계 질환에 대한 직원들의 보상과 작업조건 개선에 대한 요구는 점차 증가하고 있고, 가장 중요한 노$.$사간의 쟁점사항으로 부각되고 있다. 정부에서는 근골격계 질환 예방대책으로 '근골격계 부담 작업으고 인한 건강장해예방' 편을 입법화를 하였으며 근골격계 예방팀을 구성하여 대책 마련에 고심 중에 있다.(중략)
