Content

The workshop will delve into the next generation of collaborative robotics, emphasizing advanced methodologies for enhancing human-robot interaction. With Industry 5.0 placing human operators at the core of intelligent work cells, this event will showcase innovative approaches in planning, learning, and control. Bringing together experts from academia and industry, it will feature technical presentations, case studies, and discussions, providing valuable insights into fostering safer, more flexible, and human-centered manufacturing environments.
The workshop will focus on but is not limited to, the following topics:
  • Human-Robot Collaboration
  • Safety in Human-Robot Collaboration
  • Human-Aware Planning, Learning, and Control
  • Task and Motion Planning in HRC
  • Human Factors and Human-in-the-Loop
  • Human Modeling, Monitoring, and Digital Twins
  • Generative AI Techniques for Human-Robot Collaboration
  • Explainable Robot Decision Making
  • Smart Perception for HRC applications
  • Multi-Agent Coordination for HRC
  • Ergonomics, Trust, and Human-Centered Automation
