Abstract

The evolution from Industry 3.0 to 5.0 has marked significant advancements in human-robot collaboration (HRC), with the latest stage emphasizing a human-centric approach that integrates robots as collaborative partners. Despite the potential of HRC, challenges such as communication barriers, safety concerns, and the complexity of dynamic interactions persist, potentially hindering optimal collaboration. To address these challenges, this research introduces a modeling approach that incorporates a detailed kinematic description of human movements within the workflow. By mapping human movements and calculating robot paths proactively, the proposed method aims to enhance interaction safety and efficiency, transitioning from reactive to proactive path planning.
