This study addresses a critical gap in human activity recognition (HAR) research by enhancing both the explainability and efficiency of classification collaborative human–robot systems, particularly agricultural environments. While traditional HAR models often prioritize improving overall accuracy, they typically lack transparency how sensor data contribute to decision-making. To fill this gap, integrates explainable artificial intelligence, specifically SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), thus interpretability model. Data were collected from 20 participants who wore five inertial measurement units (IMUs) at various body positions while performing material handling tasks involving an unmanned ground vehicle field harvesting scenario. The results highlight central role torso-mounted sensors, lumbar region, cervix, chest, capturing core movements, wrist sensors provided useful complementary information, especially for load-related activities. XGBoost-based model, selected mainly allowing in-depth analysis feature contributions considerably reducing complexity calculations, demonstrated strong performance HAR. findings indicate that future should focus on enlarging dataset, investigating use additional placements, real-world trials enhance model’s generalizability adaptability practical applications.

In the era of Industry 4.0, study Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) in advancing modern manufacturing and automation is paramount. An operator approaching a collaborative robot (cobot) may have feelings distrust, experience discomfort stress, especially during early stages training. Human factors cannot be neglected: for efficient implementation, complex psycho-physiological state responses must taken into consideration. this study, volunteers were asked to carry out set cobot programming tasks, while several physiological signals, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), Galvanic skin response (GSR), facial expressions recorded. addition, subjective questionnaire (NASA-TLX) was administered at end, assess if derived parameters are related perception stress. Parameters exhibiting higher degree alignment with mean Theta (76.67%), Alpha (70.53%) Beta (67.65%) power extracted from EEG, recovery time (72.86%) rise (71.43%) GSR heart rate variability (HRV) metrics PNN25 (71.58%), SDNN (70.53%), PNN50 (68.95%) RMSSD (66.84%). raw RR Intervals appear more variable less accurate (42.11%) so recorded emotions (51.43%).
