Human Robot Collaboration

Human-robot collaboration (HRC) focuses on designing systems where humans and robots work together efficiently and safely to achieve shared goals. Current research emphasizes improving communication and understanding between humans and robots, often employing large language models (LLMs), deep learning models for perception (e.g., computer vision, human pose estimation), and advanced planning algorithms (e.g., hierarchical task networks, Bayesian optimization) to enable more natural and adaptable interactions. This field is crucial for advancing automation in various sectors, from manufacturing and construction to healthcare and domestic settings, by creating more efficient, safer, and user-friendly collaborative workspaces.
