AI Hub Workshop on Human-Robot Interaction on 11/12/2020

Human-robot interaction in the industrial setting. How can we develop human-robot interaction to enhance the UX and acceptability of collaborative robots?

Register to this workshop here

The goals of this AI Hub Tampere workshop are to:

  • familiarize with the current human-cobot interaction
  • familiarize with the user experience in collaborative robotics
  • explore and co-design futuristic human-cobot interaction scenarios

We will discuss for example:

  • What scenarios are acceptable/prominent for the participants when considering human robot interaction?
  • Do the scenarios satisfy the central UX goals for cobots: fellowship, inspiration, safety and trust, and accomplishment?
  • Are the scenarios feasible for the industrial settings?
  • What kind of alternatives would work better for the industrial scenarios?
