Human-Robot Co-working Improvement via Revolutionary Automation and Robotic Technologies – An overview

Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, prevalently dubbed “Industry 4.0”, is currently in full swing. “Smart Manufacturing for the Future" is considered “theme” of Industry 4.0. Some futurists are said to be arguing what the theme of the fifth Industrial Revolution should be. Collaboration between humans and robots is a common thread that goes across all of the concepts. In the disciplines of robotics and artificial intelligence research, there has been significant advancement in recent years. For a variety of reasons, robots are becoming more widely available, and we will soon be in frequent contact with them as we go about our daily lives. While there are several investigations and research on low-level human-robot collaboration and activities, findings on human-robot collaboration at higher and more direct levels are lacking. This work focuses on new and automation technologies to improve human-robot collaboration in this study.
