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...
But at the same time, the introduction of robots brings new challenges to the DLB problem, and how to optimise DLB in the context of human–robot collaboration has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved [8]. In addition, in actual operation, due to the participation of robots,...

human–robot collaboration; augmented reality; cyber physical systems; knowledge representation; planning and scheduling 1. 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 ...
While human–robot collaboration (HRC) in general is a well-studied field, it is often applied to sectors in which able-bodied workers are supported to reduce strain and increase their ergonomics, besides other benefits. However, those general approaches cannot be used to include people with disa...
Human–robot collaboration has emerged as a prominent research topic in recent years. To enhance collaboration and ensure safety between humans and robots, researchers employ a variety of methods. One such method is physiological computing, which aims to estimate a human’s psycho-physiological state...
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 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...
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...
augmented reality; human–robot collaboration; human–robot cooperation; mixed-reality 1. Introduction The personalized production paradigm that characterizes industry 4.0 allows customers to order unique products, with characteristics that the customer himself specifies. The linear, sequential and standardized...
