The presence of robots in industrial environments is a well-established reality in Industry 4.0 and an absolute necessity in Industry 5.0, with human–robot collaboration (HRC) at the paradigm’s core. Concurrently, lean production remains one of the most influential production paradigms, which striv...

Introduction Human–robot collaboration (HRC) is expected to be a core element of future factories. Combining the repeatability and tirelessness of robots with humans’ versatility ...
collaborative robot; digital twin; digital manufacturing; human–robot collaboration 1. Introduction This new era of industrial digitalization, commonly known as Industry 4.0, focuses on interconnected smart machines [1,2]. Some of the key goals of Industry 4.0 technologies include the development of ...
Human–Robot Collaboration (HRC);trust dimensions;trust dynamics;experimental process 1. Introduction Human–Robot Collaboration (HRC) has emerged as a critical area in the engineering and social sciences domain. This paper ventures into this dynamic domain with a keen focus on environments, where the...
By definition, interaction necessitates human–robot collaboration. Robot assistants are one example of close engagement with mobile robots, and physical contact might be a part of this type of interaction. There are various ways in which a person and a robot can communicate, but the type of ...
Human-Robot Collaboration in Cellular Manufacturing: Design and Development. In Proceedings of the IEEE RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, St Louis, MO, USA, 10–15 October 2009. [Google Scholar] Fang, Y.L.; Li, Z.Y.; Wang, S.W.; Lu, X.W. Multi-objective...
human–robot collaboration; activity recognition; deep learning; LSTM; safe HCI; adaptive manufacturing systems; robotics 1. Introduction When exploring flexible manufacturing, cyber-physical systems, or Industry 4.0 (I4.0), the term “human–robot collaboration” rarely escapes attention; rather, it ...
Recent advancements in human–robot collaboration have enabled humans and robots to work together in a shared manufacturing environment [1,2]. Since their first use at the industrial level, collaborative robots (or cobots) have been used in many tasks combining the perception of several humans with...
Background: Safety is the very necessary issue that must be considered during human-robot collaboration in the same workspace or area. Methods: In this manuscript, a nonlinear autoregressive model with an exog-enous inputs neural network (NARXNN) is developed for the detection of collisions betw...
