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

Collaborative robotics is an umbrella term that conveys the general idea of proximity
between machines and humans for some useful tasks in a shared space, with a range of …

This article presents a disassembly task planning algorithm considering human–robot
collaboration (HRC) and human behavior prediction (HBP). Unlike assembly procedures …

The implementation of human-robot collaborative systems in industrial environments have
widely extended during the last five years, from manufacturing applications reproduced in …

This literature review presents a comprehensive analysis of the use and potential
application scenarios of collaborative robots in the industrial working world, focusing on their …

Product disassembly plays a crucial role in the recycling, remanufacturing, and reuse of end-
of-use (EoU) products. However, the current manual disassembly process is inefficient due …

Products and assets are becoming increasingly “smart”, eg, mechatronic, electronic, or cyber-
physical. In the lack of fully reliable wireless solutions, extensive wiring and wire bundling …

The vision of a symbiotic partnership between humans and machines has existed since the
1960s. With this paper we provide the first conceptualization of the human-machine …

In this paper, we identify three types of human–robot interaction combining different
collaborative industrial human–cobot scenarios with communicative modes. In particular, we …

One of the key interesting features of collaborative robotic applications is the potential to
lighten the worker workload and potentiate better working conditions. Moreover, developing …
