Abstract

AbstractInstead of robot replacing the human in industrial workplaces, human–robot collaboration (HRC) focuses on collaborative working of human and robot in the shared workspace. Robots can provide accurate, repetitive and fast working, but it does not have flexibility and adaptability like humans. In human–robot collaboration (HRC), robots are programmed to make decisions about its motions and operations for the specific given task. Therefore in human–robot collaboration, robots are often needed to change their motions and operations to collaborate with humans. But, robots in the industries are pre-programmed with rigid codes and cannot support human–robot collaboration. Hence, computer vision-guided systems can be used for human–robot collaborations. In this paper, an overview of computer vision-guided human–robot collaborative for Industry 4.0 has been given, and it also highlights future research directions. In this paper, various aspects of computer vision-guided human–robot collaboration, such as introduction, gesture recognition, computer vision as a sensor technology, and human safety have been reviewed.KeywordsHuman–robot collaborationComputer visionIndustry 4.0
