Human-Robot Collaboration: Technical Issues from a Viewpoint of Human-Centered Automation
Tetsuo Sawaragi, Yukio Horiguchi · Proceedings of the ... ISARC · 2006
Abstract: In this article, after surveying the problems incurred by the conventional technology-centered automation in a variety of fields, we put an emphasis on the fact that a concept of “sociality ” is really needed to form the ideal human-automation and/or human-robot relations emerging out of active interactions. Then, some key technical issues are to be presented for realizing such socially-centered automation and establishing the human-automation and/or human-robot collaboration. Brief introductions of the ongoing works by the author’s group are also presented. Keywords: Human-centered automation, human-robot collaboration, sociality, ecological interface design. 1.
