Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

As close collaborations between humans and robots increase, the latter must be programmed to be reliable, predictable and thus trustworthy for people. To make this a reality, interdisciplinary research and development is needed. The Austrian project CoBot Studio is a research initiative in which experts from different fields work together towards the common goal of human-centred collaborative robots.
