When humans and robots work side by side, it’s not always easy: widespread skepticism and a lack of communication paradigms will create new challenges in future work environments. How can trust and acceptance be established in the workplace of the future? How can human-robot work environments be designed?

In CoBot Studio – a collaborative research project funded by the program Ideen Lab 4.0 of the FFG – researchers from Ars Electronica Futurelab, LIT Robopsychology Lab (JKU Linz), Centre for Human-Computer-Interaction (Universität Salzburg), JOANNEUM RESEARCH – ROBOTICS, Polycular OG, Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (OFAI) and Blue Danube Robotics are developing new standards for successful teamwork between humans and robots.

The answers expected from this research project should provide valuable information for the development of and teamwork with future CoBots. CoBot Studio is therefore a major step towards reforming the working world of the future in the interests of people.
