Assembly Movement Analysis by Work Classification Using Motion Capture and Machine Learning

Abstract

Recently, the manufacturing industry has digitized skills through motion capture to solve issues such as human resource development and skill transmission. However, the amount of data on body movements obtained from motion capture is enormous, and machine learning techniques are required for data mining. Elemental tasks are useful for conducting work analysis, where the unit of analysis or unit element is divided by the entire work. This study proposes an assembly movement analysis method based on work classification using motion capture and machine learning. Here, the differences between motions of experienced and inexperienced workers were classified using motion capture and deep learning software for the worker’s experience level and body part analysis.
