0如果在机器人系统设计阶段未考虑人为因素，则工人和机器的总体生产率会降低。在典型的机器人系统中，人机界面的设计缺陷阻碍了与机器交互的能力。这降低了机器人系统中工人和机器的整体生产率。解决这个问题的一个方法是将适用的人为因素（HF）指南和技术有效地应用到机器人系统设计中。这种方法是利用专家系统技术来分析正在进行的机器人系统设计，并向设计师提出具体的高频设计建议。这种分析是通过使用启发式规则来完成的，这些规则同时控制机器人和人的因素域。 其想法是创建一个可移动的人为因素顾问，可供任何机器人系统设计师使用。描述了一个完成这项任务的系统

0VERALL PRODUCTIVITY OF WORKER AND MACHINE IS DIMINISHED WHEN HUMAN FACTORS ARE NOT CONSIDERED DURING THE ROBOT SYSTEM DESIGN PHASE. DESIGN DEFICIENCIES OF THE ROBOT-HUMAN INTERFACE HINDER THE ABILITY TO INTERACT WITH MACHINES IN TYPICAL ROBOTIC SYSTEMS. THIS REDUCES THE OVERALL PRODUCTIVITY OF BOTH WORKER AND MACHINE IN ROBOTIC SYSTEMS. A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS TO EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY APPLY APPLICABLE HUMAN FACTORS (HF) GUIDELINES AND TECHNIQUES INTO ROBOTIC SYSTEM DESIGN. THE APPROACH IS TO EMPLOY EXPERT SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY TO ANALYZE AN ONGOING ROBOTIC SYSTEM DESIGN AND MAKE SPECIFIC HF DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE DESIGNER. THIS ANALYSIS IS DONE USING HEURISTIC RULES GOVERNING BOTH THE ROBOTIC AND HUMAN FACTORS DOMAINS. THE IDEA IS TO CREATE A TRANSPORTABLE HUMAN FACTORS CONSULTANT THAT CAN BE USED BY ANY ROBOT SYSTEM DESIGNER. A SYSTEM TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK IS DESCRIBE
