Human-Robot Interaction for Co-Robots in Industry 5.0
Abstract
Industry 5.0 envisions humans and robots working side by side in partly open and less controlled environments. In this presentation, I will briefly motivate the kinds of capabilities robots will need to become genuine collaborators and demonstrate some of them with examples from our own work. I will conclude with an outlook of what technical developments are still need to make this vision feasible.
