Dynamic Duos: Human-Robot Co-Worker Adaptation in Manufacturing
An ICRA 2024 Workshop - Yokohama, Japan
Today’s collaborative robots primarily coexist with their human coworkers rather than interactively collaborating on tasks with mutual dependencies. This implies a huge yet untapped potential for applications of collaborative robots. Actual collaboration provides the opportunity to increase productivity and to reduce mental and physical workload for human workers. At the same time, such collaborations come with challenges such as the need for mutual adaptation. Robots need to be enabled to adapt to the characteristics and states of the human while the human operator is required to learn to effectively collaborate with an adaptive robot.
The RoCoAdapt workshop will facilitate interdisciplinary research on human-aware robotics in the context of manufacturing or similar domains. The full-day workshop will bring together researchers focusing on industrial scenarios, human-robot interaction, organizational psychology, and related fields in AI. We will focus on the technological capabilities and challenges for human-robot collaboration beyond sharing workspaces.
At the workshop, recent progress in human-aware robotics will be discussed. Selected keynote speakers will address the topic from different perspectives and facilitate a joint discussion inspiring and triggering new interdisciplinary research collaborations. Selected contributions will be invited for a special issue at an established journal to increase the outreach of the workshop.
Submission Guidelines
We accept short papers (2 pages + references) and regular papers (6 pages + references) for the workshop. All contributions will be reviewed and accepted papers will be offered an oral or poster presentation.
All contributions must use the IEEE template available here
Authors will retain the copyright of their work. Accepted contributions will be featured on this website to facilitate discussions and interaction amongst workshop participants but will not be published. Authors of accepted contributions will be invited to a special issue at the Paladyn Journal of Robotics, Intelligent Agents, and Artificial Intelligence.
