Industry 4.0 has potential for qualitative enrichment of factory work: a more interesting
working environment, greater autonomy and opportunities for self-development. A central …

An appropriate level of human-robot trust is considered a necessary precondition for
successful human-robot interaction (HRI). With collaborative robots (cobots) entering …

This article reports three case studies on the usability and acceptance of an industrial robotic
prototype in the context of human-robot cooperation. The three case studies were conducted …

This paper explores the concept of user experience (UX) within complex systems in the
domain of nuclear power production. The specific context is the development of main control …

In production environments, the number of distributed, networked, and automated systems
has grown rapidly and is expected to continue to grow in the future. This affects humans' …

We investigate professional greenhouse growers' user experience (UX) when using climate-
management systems in their daily work. We build on the literature on UX, in particular UX at …

Understanding a worker's perspective when introducing robots at humans' workplaces is
crucial to improve human-robot interaction in production environments. Taking a temporal …

This paper reports a study in which the usage of emergency operating procedures (EOP) in
a simulated accident scenario in a nuclear power plant was carefully analysed. The …

This paper reports a case study on the User Experience (UX) of an industrial robotic
prototype in the context of human-robot cooperation in an automotive assembly line. The …

During the past few years we investigated humans' work in a semiconductor factory, both in
relation to digital and non-digital artifacts. With this paper, we provide an overview of aspects …
