Collaborative Assembly

Collaborative assembly research focuses on optimizing human-robot teamwork in manufacturing and other assembly tasks, aiming to improve efficiency, safety, and adaptability. Current research emphasizes improving human-robot communication through natural language processing and visual cues, developing advanced task planning algorithms like Stackelberg game-theoretic learning and multi-agent reinforcement learning, and assessing the cognitive and emotional impact of robot behavior on human workers. These advancements hold significant potential for enhancing manufacturing productivity and creating more ergonomic and human-centered work environments.
