TLDR
In this paper , the authors present an overview of collaborative robotics considering three main dimensions: robot features, modern production systems characteristics and human factors, and a discussion on the current state of the art is presented, showing the topics that have been already widely explored and the research gaps that should be fulfilled in the future.Abstract:
Abstract Collaborative robots are increasingly common in modern production systems, since they allow to merge the productivity of automated systems with the flexibility and dexterity of manual ones. The direct interaction between the human and the robot can be the greatest advantage and the greatest limit of collaborative systems at the same time, depending on how it affects human factors like ergonomics and mental stress. This work presents an overview of collaborative robotics considering three main dimensions: robot features, modern production systems characteristics and human factors. A literature review on how such dimensions interact is addressed and a discussion on the current state of the art is presented, showing the topics that have been already widely explored and the research gaps that should be fulfilled in the future. read more

Energy expenditure and makespan multi-objective optimization for cobots systems design
TL;DR: In this article , a bi-objective optimization for task allocation is proposed to minimize both the time required to assemble the parts, including so the makespan minimization as objective function, and the energy required by the operator during the work.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental focus on learning effect and interaction quality in human–robot collaboration
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated how the learning process (i.e., the experience gained through the interaction) affects the user experience in the human-robot collaboration (HRC) in conjunction with different configuration factors (e.g., robot speed, task execution control, and proximity to robot workspace).

Picking with a robot colleague: A systematic literature review and evaluation of technology acceptance in human-robot collaborative warehouses
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identify, classify, and analyze studies examining human-robot collaboration acceptance in warehouses using a systematic literature review methodology, and a framework is established to guide the analysis of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, (perceived) occupational safety, psychosocial, and legal and privacy factors.
