Human Robot Colaboration
New generation of collaborative robots is undergoing a major transformation in scope and dimension with a disruptive impact on the economy, production, professions, and culture of our global society. The covid19 act as accelerator of the development of this technology… Are you ready to take advantage of it?
The generations of robots now being developed will increasingly touch people and their lives. They will explore, work, and interact with humans in their homes, workplaces, in new production systems, and in challenging field domains. The emerging robots will provide increased support in mining, underwater, hostile environments, as well as in domestic, health, industry, and service applications. Combining the experience and cognitive abilities of the human with the strength, dependability, reach, and endurance of robots will fuel a wide range of new robotic applications. The discussion focuses on design concepts, control architectures, task primitives and strategies that bring human modelling and skill understanding to the development of this new generation of collaborative robots ”.
Collaborative robots are joining our lives in accelerated way. The process of incorporation of robotic technologies were usually initiated in industries, consolidated, and gradually moved into everyday life, but it is no longer the case. The most recent example is the impact of the collaborative robots in the health area during the covid19 pandemic. COBOTS have been taken quickly prominence and gone from being prototypes to taking responsibility in activities as: disinfection work, transport of goods, remote consultations, information posts to the public, among other functions... they arrived to stay. All professions are going to be affected with our new co-workers, so knowing what they can do and what they will do in the close future is more than useful, it is necessary.
Learning Objectives
- To Know that they are collaborative robots, their usefulness, and the impact they will have on our Society.
- To know the state-of-art of the Robots that work together with humans
- Understand the impact of COBOTS on different professions and its impact in the persons who work with them
- Understand that any Human-Robot collaboration project is a cross-cutting development that requires the knowledge of various professionals, it is concurrent engineering projects
- Boosting entrepreneurship and intra-entrepreneurship with a technology that is being promoted from the public and private sectors
- Discuss the ethical framework in the use of these technologies
