- Abstract: Cooperation and collaboration robots, co-robots or cobots for short, are an
integral part of factories. For example, they work closely with the fitters in
the automotive sector, and everyone does what they do best. However, the novel
robots are not only relevant in production and logistics, but also in the
service sector, especially where proximity between them and the users is
desired or unavoidable. For decades, individual solutions of a very different
kind have been developed in care. Now experts are increasingly relying on
co-robots and teaching them the special tasks that are involved in care or
therapy. This article presents the advantages, but also the disadvantages of
co-robots in care and support, and provides information with regard to
human-robot interaction and communication. The article is based on a model that
has already been tested in various nursing and retirement homes, namely Lio
from F&P Robotics, and uses results from accompanying studies. The authors can
show that co-robots are ideal for care and support in many ways. Of course, it
is also important to consider a few points in order to guarantee functionality
and acceptance.

Trust in robots is widely believed to be imperative for the adoption of robots into people's daily lives.
Researchers have been exploring how people trust robot in different ways.
Most roboticists agree that insufficient levels of trust lead to a risk of disengagement.

We show that a short calibration using REMP can effectively bridge the gap between what a non-expert user thinks a robot can reach and the ground-truth.
We show that this calibration procedure not only results in better user perception, but also promotes more efficient human-robot collaborations.

With humans and robots increasingly operating in the same world, the prospects of human-robot interaction also bring semantics into the picture.
Driven by need, as well as by enablers like increasing availability of training data and computational resources, semantics is a rapidly growing research area in robotics.

Collaborative Tasks [83.37025218216888]
We propose a novel explainable AI (XAI) framework for achieving human-like communication in human-robot collaborations.
The robot builds a hierarchical mind model of the human user and generates explanations of its own mind as a form of communications.
Results show that the generated explanations of our approach significantly improves the collaboration performance and user perception of the robot.

We term actions that support interaction by reducing future interference with others as supportive robot actions.
We compare two robot modes in a shared table pick-and-place task: (1) Task-oriented: the robot only takes actions to further its own task objective and (2) Supportive: the robot sometimes prefers supportive actions to task-oriented ones.
Our experiments in simulation, using a simplified human model, reveal that supportive actions reduce the interference between agents, especially in more difficult tasks, but also cause the robot to take longer to complete the task.
