CoBot Studio - Research for harmonious teamwork between humans and robots
When humans and robots work side by side, it isn’t always easy: How to communicate with a colleague who only consists of a gripper arm? How do you create a safe working relationship, even if humans and machines work physically closely together - and how can robots be more easily accepted in everyday work?
The nationwide CoBot Studio research project of the LIT Robopsychology Lab at the Johannes Kepler University of Linz, which is being implemented in cooperation with the Ars Electronica Futurelab and five other project partners, is concerned with this very issue. The aim is to create a unique mixed reality environment in which future forms of collaboration with CoBots, i.e. collaborative robots, can already be simulated today. Diverse disciplines, ranging from robotics to psychology and virtual reality to non-verbal communication, will be involved.
