The Sharework project, coordinated by Eurecat, works towards providing collaborative robots the necessary intelligence and methods for an effective adoption of Human Robot Collaboration (HRC) in industrial shopfloors with no fences.

This training session, the second of a series of training workshops organized by the Sharework project, will be focused on Human Factor approaches in collaborative robotics from several perspectives. Contents of this session respond to how to develop a more human-centered design for the factory of the future, including ergonomic and posture assessments, methodologies to ensure adaptability and acceptance of collaborative robotics solutions in the workplace, the use of Augmented Reality for operator training and technology for a seamless interaction between humans and cobots.
