A Review of Personalisation in Human-Robot Collaboration and Future Perspectives Towards Industry 5.0

摘要

The shift in research focus from Industry 4.0 (I4.0) to Industry 5.0 (I5.0) promises a human-centric workplace, with social and well-being values at the centre of technological implementation. Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) is a core aspect of I5.0 development, with an increase in adaptive and personalised interactions and behaviours. This review investigates recent advancements towards personalised HRC, where user-centric adaptation is key. There is a growing trend for adaptable HRC research, however there lacks a consistent and unified approach. The review highlights key research trends on which personal factors are considered, the design of human-robot interaction, and adaptive task completion. This raises various key considerations for future developments, particularly around the ethical and regulatory development of personalised systems, which are discussed in detail.
