BACKGROUND Humans have a fantastic ability to manipulate objects of various shapes,
sizes, and materials and can control the objects' position in confined spaces with the …

Collaborative robots (cobots) have been increasingly adopted in industries to facilitate
human–robot collaboration. Despite this, it is challenging to program cobots for collaborative …

In human-robot collaborative assembly, robots are often required to dynamically change
their pre-planned tasks to collaborate with human operators in a shared workspace …

Collaborative fluency is the coordinated meshing of joint activities between members of a
well-synchronized team. In recent years, researchers in human-robot collaboration have …

This article surveys the literature on human–robot object handovers. A handover is a
collaborative joint action, where an agent, the giver, gives an object to another agent, the …

Physical embodiment is a required component for robots that are structurally coupled with
their real-world environments. However, most socially interactive robots do not need to …

We present a systematic survey of computational research in humanrobot interaction (HRI)
over the past decade. Computational HRI is the subset of the field that is specifically …

As collaborative robots begin to appear on factory floors, there is a need to consider how
these robots can best help their human partners. In this paper, we propose an optimization …

Repetitive industrial tasks can be easily performed by traditional robotic systems. However,
many other works require cognitive knowledge that only humans can provide. Human-Robot …

In this review we address the human in human robot collaboration (HRC). Although there
are different hypotheses on potential effects of HRC on job quality, defined as the quality of …
