Human Emotions

In order for humans and robots to interact in an effective and instinctive manner, robots must obtain information about the human emotional state in response to the robots actions. This is important as the presence of robot in manufacturing industry is very wide and robot plays a big role in the emerging of automation manufacturing technology. Consequently, we believed that it is necessary to investigate how human feel about this situation and if robot can understand those human emotions, collaboration with human can be much better. In order to investigate the human emotions, we applied akanseisurvey method based on akanseiengineering technology. We request a number of participants to take part in our experiment where they will be in the same environment of where a robot is working on some tasks. The participants will answer those questions in the survey based on what they feel about working together with moving robot. The overall goal is, in fact, to predict in which area in the vicinity of the robot that the human is heading to, especially in term of humans feeling, so that by understanding how human feels of working together with robots, perhaps we can create a better working environment. This paper describes the results of our findings about how human feel when collaborating with robot (s).

This article describes how U.S. manufacturing was stricken when companies embraced outsourcing beginning in the 1990s as a strategy for taking advantage of lower labor costs in developing countries. The U.S. textile and apparel industries lost 76.5% of its workforce, or 1.2 million jobs, between 1990 and 2012. The catalyst which has renewed the interest in manufacturing textiles and apparel in the United States is the narrowing gap between the U.S. and Asian labor costs. The sector changed in response to technology and the global market, and both the number and type of employees demanded turned as well. The advanced technology currently drives the domestic textile industry. Despite a positive outlook on growth, it is unlikely that textile manufacturing will create the large number of jobs that it did in the past. Furthermore, it is only viable because of the technological improvements to its factories. The current production is designed to employ fewer workers in order be more productive and less dependent on labor costs. Nevertheless, the high demand for specialized and unique textiles in the U.S. and Europe will likely continue to drive improved manufacturing technology and performance. China's transition from a manufacturing economy to a service economy will increase its manufacturing operational costs, while probably growing demand for the sorts of specialized textiles on which American textile manufacturers tend to focus. If such manufacturers can increase their market shares in China and other Asian countries, while maintaining such markets in the U.S. and Europe, the American textile manufacturing industry will likely grow at a moderately high rate.

Aim: To examine the challenges in development of biological products among Malaysian pharmaceutical manufacturers.Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews (IDIs) with senior management of five local pharmaceutical product manufacturers from December 2015 to September 2016. We performed a purposive sampling focusing on local pharmaceutical manufacturers with existing sterile manufacturing facility and known intentions to develop biological products. Audio recordings were transcribed verbatim and coded, with common themes identified and analysed. Information provided by participants was verified with a policy maker.Results: Participants were generally apprehensive in viewing the sustainability of a local bio manufacturing industry, despite the availability of various government incentives. Our research uncovered some common themes on challenges in developing ‘Made in Malaysia’ biological products. These include: lack of technical capacity (know-how) in bio manufacturing, lack of understanding on regulatory requirements, susceptibility to litigation by originator biological product manufacturers, limited commercial viability of Malaysian biological products, and a fragmented government support system. Through our discussion with participants, some solutions to encourage a thriving bio-based industry in Malaysia through public and private contributions, are proposed.Conclusions: There are genuine challenges to be addressed by local pharmaceutical manufacturers and policy makers in working together to develop a biopharmaceutical industry in Malaysia. From product research and development to commercialisation stage, public and private partnership towards commercial sustenance of ‘Made in Malaysia’ biological products is key to our country’s vision of a successful bio manufacturing industry.
