Human-Robot Collaboration

Different technologies such as collaborative robotics are expected revolutionize how we think of manufacturing. The EC policy brief on Industry 5.0 explicitly states, “Rather than asking the industry worker to adapt his or her skills to the needs of rapidly evolving technology, we want to use technology to adapt the production process to the needs of the worker.” At the core of this approach lies the sociotechnical domain of human-robot collaboration which links together concepts of shared autonomy, system usability, information automation, and human-aware motion planning.
