Natural user interface (NUI) is considered a recent topic in human–computer interaction
(HCI) and provides innovative forms of interaction, which are performed through natural …

Speech recognition is common in electronic appliances and personal services, but its use
for industrial and medical purposes is rare because of the presence of motion ambiguity. For …

This literature review provides an overview on evaluation metrics regarding human well-
being and system performance in human-robot interaction. In this context a systematic …

In this paper, we introduce a novel robot programming paradigm. It focuses on reducing the
required expertise in robotics to a level that allows shop floor workers to use robots in their …

In this paper, we introduce an approach for leveraging CAD description to a semantic level,
in order to link additional knowledge to CAD models and to exploit resulting synergy effects …

Intuitive robot programming for non-experts will be essential to increasing automation in
small and medium-sized enterprises. Programming by demonstration (PbD) is a fast and …

Smart manufacturing promotes the demand of new interfaces for communication with
autonomies such as big data analysis, digital twin, and self-decisive control. Collaboration …

Robots are increasingly present in environments shared with humans. Robots can
cooperate with their human teammates to achieve common goals and complete tasks. This …

In the realm of industrial robotics, there is a growing challenge in simplifying human–robot
collaboration (HRC), particularly in complex settings. The demand for more intuitive …

Collaborative robot installations often mean man-machine workspace sharing. This mode of
operation can lead to reductions of tact time and work space requirements. We have …
