System for assisting an operator in a work station

System for assisting an operator in a work station, the system comprising:

• at least one collaborative robot configured for conducting one or more operations in an open, non-protected space, adjacent to an operator and in cooperation with the operator, with a robot electronic controller associated to the at least one collaborative robot,
• at least one active exoskeleton including one or more electrically operated actuators, wearable by an operator for receiving assistance in conducting one or more operations,
• a plurality of sensors associable to a body of the operator and configured for detecting at least one parameter selected from a heart rate, a metabolic consumption, a skin conductivity, a surface electromyography, pressure at the interface between the at least one active exoskeleton and the body of the operator, and/or a movement of the operator and relative orientation of the body districts of the operator,
• at least one system electronic controller configured for receiving signals from said plurality of sensors and for sending signals to said one or more actuators of the at least one active exoskeleton and to said robot electronic controller based on an elaboration of the signals received from said plurality of sensors,
• wherein the system electronic controller is configured and programmed for dynamically controlling a functioning of said one or more actuators of the at least one active exoskeleton and a functioning of the at least one collaborative robot as a function of the parameters detected by said plurality of sensors so as to avoid collisions or injuries between the collaborative robot and the operator or conditions of lack of safety for the operator, and so as to enable the collaborative robot to cooperate with the operator by assuming positions suited to physical and physiological features, to a workload and to postures of the operator.
