Research assessment

Inclusion rationale
The report analyses AI-based systems and advanced robotics for workplace task automation, with a taxonomy, sectoral uses and occupational-safety-and-health policies.
Researcher notes
The PDF provides the year 2022 but no exact internal issue day. The official report release of 26 April 2022 is the publication fallback. Project managers Ioannis Anyfantis, Annick Starren and Emmanuelle Brun are not represented as authors. This full report is distinct from the already included AI worker-management report.

  • Last verified: 2026-09-06T22:54:09Z · Official publication page date 26/04/2022. Actual official catalogue HTML captured and reviewed.
  • Last verified: 2026-09-06T22:54:09Z · Actual official English PDF bytes captured and validated, with SHA-256 in the document snapshot. Identity, credits, dates and substantive passages inspected: PDF p.2 (printed p.1), Authors block; PDF p.5 (printed p.4), section 1 Introduction and objectives; chapters 3-5. Source bytes and receipts retained in the external evidence audit; archived_path is null because no PDF is proposed for repository retention.
