Conceitos essenciais
This research introduces the concepts of MetaHuman and MetaStates to represent the digital depiction of human workers and their psychophysiological states in the Industrial Metaverse.
Resumo
This research paper introduces the concepts of MetaHuman and MetaStates to enhance the representation of human workers in industrial simulations.
The key highlights are:
MetaHuman: The digital representation of a human worker in the Industrial Metaverse, comprising a photo-realistic digital human and their MetaStates.
MetaStates: The digital representation of the psychophysiological states of a human worker, such as stress, attention, cognitive workload, and physical fatigue. MetaStates influence the appearance, mobility, and performance of the MetaHuman.
MetaState Performance Index (MPI): A visual indicator that represents the overall status of the MetaHuman to perform a given task, based on the MetaStates. The MPI is displayed as a color-coded aura and sphere around the MetaHuman.
MetaState Reaction Model (MRM): Defines how the MetaHuman's animations are triggered based on the MetaStates, allowing the digital human to express internal states through facial expressions and body language.
Implementation: The research demonstrates the application of MetaHumans and MetaStates in an industrial use case involving a collaborative task between a human worker and a cobot. The digital human is generated using photogrammetry techniques, and the MetaStates are represented through the MPI and MRM.
This approach enables more realistic and human-centric industrial simulations, considering the impact of human factors on process performance and sustainability.

Citações
"Creating simulations is a complex process that relies heavily on the accuracy of the introduced data. IM applications should take into consideration the premises of Industry 5.0, developing sustainable and human-centric solutions."
"Introducing MetaStates into IM applications can lead to more realistic simulations. These simulations can generate more sustainable and human-centric solutions by assessing how a situation can influence positively or negatively the well-being and performance of a human worker."
