Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Throughout the rise of Industry 5.0, the symbiosis between humans and robots has become increasingly critical for the advancement of manufacturing processes and safety. This Special Issue aims to explore human–robot collaborations (HRCs) within the context of Industry 5.0, inviting contributions that address theoretical and experimental advances in industrial robot operation and innovative applications. This Special Issue will be a comprehensive collection of papers regarding all aspects of technological breakthroughs in the integration of robots into human-centric work environments.

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following:

  • Autonomous systems and human-centric manufacturing systems;
  • Technological innovations in human–robot collaboration;
  • Force sensing and collision avoidance for cobots;
  • Safety and ergonomics in human–robot collaboration;
  • Augmented reality via handheld devices for industrial robot manipulation;
  • Advances in AI, machine learning, and deep learning; 
  • Digital twins for industrial robot planning and control;
  • Cyber–physical systems and IoT; 
  • Predictive and prescriptive maintenance for cobots;
  • Case studies and industrial applications.
