In this session, we will delve into the power of Digital Human Models, advanced
simulations, and AI algorithms in addressing critical concerns related to
productivity, worker well-being, and workplace safety. Our esteemed speakers
will share insights from the following aspects:<br>
• Discover the role of AI in enhancing DHMs by enabling predictive modeling,
personalized recommendations, etc., to address safety and human factor issues
effectively.<br>
• Learn how AI-powered DHMs assist in identifying potential ergonomic risks and
provide data-driven insights for proactive risk mitigation.<br>
• Explore the utilization of DHMs and AI for optimizing workplace design to
enhance worker comfort and efficiency.<br>
• Understand the synergy between DHMs and AI in the context of human-AI
interaction, ensuring the safe and efficient coexistence of humans and
automation.<br>
• Explore real-world applications of DHMs and AI in diverse industries, such as
manufacturing and healthcare, which are paving the way for transformative
solutions.</span></p>
