Human Robot Interaction in Collaborative Manufacturing Scenarios: Prospective Cases

摘要

Nowadays, robots are used extensively in manufacturing sectors because they improve quality and efficiency of production processes. Robots can perform various tasks autonomously with optimal working speed and accuracy. Even in a fully autonomous mode, a human operator is still needed to supervise operations and resolve issues, which led to an emergence of the collaborative robotics field. This paper reviews various potential industrial robots employed for human-robot collaboration and explores solution strategies related to safety during collaborative tasks.
