Human-robot collaboration

Collaborative robots are considered the answer to increasing pressure in industrial manufacturing. Whether they will fulfill this promise is less clear. This study investigates how collaborative robots are actually implemented in German companies today, where standards reach their limits, and what actually drives system integrators in practice. The foundation is formed by a quantitative survey and qualitative expert interviews, supplemented by the introduction of the Robo-DashCam system developed at Fraunhofer IPA for data-supported risk assessment.
