Human-robot teaming receives an ever-increasing level of attention in research, development and industry. Novel approaches to task sharing in hybrid teams range from optimized schedules to intelligent cobot assistants with a high degree of autonomy. These approaches must prove their usefulness and benefits compared to manual work or full automation -particularly when it comes to assessing their potential for productive industrial use. This leverages demand for standardized, repeatable benchmarks to compare approaches and measure improvements in a reproducible way. Designing such benchmarks is challenging as numerous aspects, from safety considerations to human factors and team performance, must be considered. This survey seeks to contribute to the future development of benchmarks for the field of collaborative assembly, handling, and industrial cobot applications by giving a comprehensive overview of relevant metrics, evaluation strategies, and tasks for human-robot teams.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
