TLDR
This paper illustrates how workers in a semiconductor factory experience working together with industrial robots by applying a narrative interview approach to gain knowledge of how daily work with these robots is experienced, including workers' attitudes and inherent meanings regarding the robots.Abstract:
This paper illustrates how workers in a semiconductor factory experience working together with industrial robots. Applying a narrative interview approach, we evoked reports on workers' personal experiences of working together with these robots. This specific approach enabled us to gain knowledge of how daily work with these robots is experienced, including workers' attitudes and inherent meanings regarding the robots. Following a thematic analysis approach, we analyzed the collected interview data and identified rivalry with the robots, adaption towards the robot's behavior, perceived reasonability and knowledge acquisition as salient aspects regarding human-robot interaction in the factory. Our findings indicate how human-robot cooperation can be improved in terms of enhancing workers' everyday experiences with robots, for example, by providing a feeling of control or emphasizing human competences.read more

Flexible human-robot cooperation models for assisted shop-floor tasks
Kourosh Darvish,Francesco Wanderlingh,Barbara Bruno,Enrico Simetti,Fulvio Mastrogiovanni,Giuseppe Casalino +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a sensing, representation, planning and control architecture for flexible human-robot cooperation, referred to as FlexHRC, is proposed, which relies on wearable sensors for human action recognition, AND/OR graphs for the representation of and the reasoning upon human robot cooperation models online, and a Task Priority framework to decouple action planning from robot motion planning.

Interleaved Online Task Planning, Simulation, Task Allocation and Motion Control for Flexible Human-Robot Cooperation
TL;DR: FlexHRC is extended with an online perception-simulation-planning framework that allows the robot to assess the status of the workspace, keeping track at all times of the stage at which the cooperative manufacturing process is, to identify its next action and simulate it to check its feasibility.

Using thematic analysis in psychology
Virginia Braun,Victoria Clarke +1 more
TL;DR: Thematic analysis is a poorly demarcated, rarely acknowledged, yet widely used qualitative analytic method within psychology as mentioned in this paper, and it offers an accessible and theoretically flexible approach to analysing qualitative data.

User experience over time: an initial framework
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an in-depth, five-week ethnographic study that followed 6 individuals during an actual purchase of the Apple iPhone and found prolonged use to be motivated by different qualities than the ones that provided positive initial experiences.
