Trends in HRC and their Effects on Human Operators’ Sense of Presence in Manufacturing Settings

摘要

The introduction of robotic collaborators in manufacturing environments has the potential to interrupt humanoperators’ sense of physical presence when completing tasks, which can impact comfort, safety, andproductivity. As a result, an examination of Human Robotic Collaboration (HRC) systems is called for in orderto determine whether and how these systems are affecting human operator sense of presence. This reviewidentifies trends and themes in HRC systems in order to identify patterns and opportunities for improvement.
