Description
Summary:Human-robot collaboration (HRC) [1], [2] is a vastly developing field in diverse industries such as health care [3], industrial assembly [4], search and rescue, home service [5], and construction [6], [7]. Many researchers believe that robots will enhance human workers, not replace them, as they do not have the same capability to evaluate and correct their work in real time. Lee [8] introduces case studies on glazing robot technology for installing glass panels on construction sites. A human-robot dialogue system [9] has been developed in joint-action science and technology to solve a construction task collaboratively with a human. The use of immersive virtual environments is also reported in [10] to evaluate human trust and perceived safety in response to robot actions during a collaborative construction. Deploying robots in collaboration with humans is seen as an enabler of major changes in construction productivity for various tasks, such as interior finishing.
