Abstract

Recent technological advances have changed user-centered design criteria in industrial work contexts. The growing potential of technologies is changing industrial activity, in particular the use of collaborative robots able to involve the production operator.

Starting from the study of the regulatory framework of the Robotics and the state of the art, the paper provides an overview of the different categorizations in the literature related to human-robot collaboration through the identification of illustrative industrial application associated with these categories.

From a Human-Centered perspective and through the methods and approaches of the design discipline, the contribution proposes new evolutionary scenarios for the identification of “implementations” to be introduced in collaborative robotics, where human-robot interaction methods optimize the production process in terms of predictability, reliability and usability.

It will be possible to focus on regulatory aspects and on the hypothesis of new regulatory tools and protocols needed to clearly and effectively define human-robot interactions.
