“…The intelligence of the robots essentially originates from the AI techniques (see Ballagi and Kóczy 2008;Dorigo and Sahin 2004;Momen and Sharkey 2009). Both robot-robot and human-robot cooperation will be a source of productivity improvement in unmanned Smart Factories in the close future (Ballagi et al 2014;Ballagi and Kóczy 2010;Corke et al 2005;Faber et al 2015;Kóczy and Ballagi 2009;O'Hara and Balch 2004). In addition to kinematic modeling and trajectory planning, the solving of dynamic tasks of industrial robot arms has become an intensively researched area in the last decade (Al-Mashhadany 2010; Chen et al 2014;Yaskevich 2014).…”

Smart Factory is a complex system that integrates the main elements of the Industry 4.0 concept (e.g., autonomous robots, Internet of Things, and Big data). In Smart Factories intelligent robots, tools, and smart workpieces communicate and collaborate with each other continuously, which results in self-organizing and self-optimizing production. The significance of Smart Factories is to make production more competitive, efficient, flexible and sustainable. The purpose of the study is not only the introduction of the concept and operation of the Smart Factories, but at the same time to show the application of Simulation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods in practice. The significance of the study is that the economic and social operational requirements and impacts of Smart Factories are summarized and the characteristics of the traditional factory and the Smart Factory are compared. The most significant added value of the research is that a real case study is introduced for Simulation of the operation of two collaborating robots applying AI. Quantitative research methods are used, such as numerical and graphical modeling and Simulation, 3D design, furthermore executing Tabu Search in the space of trajectories, but in some aspects the work included fundamental methods, like suggesting an original whip-lashing analog for designing robot trajectories. The conclusion of the case study is that—due to using Simulation and AI methods—the motion path of the robot arm is improved, resulting in more than five percent time-savings, which leads to a significant improvement in productivity. It can be concluded that the establishment of Smart Factories will be essential in the future and the application of Simulation and AI methods for collaborating robots are needed for efficient and optimal operation of production processes.

Nowadays, intelligent robotics are found in many places and always seem to be growing in complexity. The need to consider the human-robot interaction was further motivated by a growing number of collisions occurred among humans and robotics. The potential accidents need to be concerned and addressed urgently. This paper briefly reviewed some relevant researches on physical Human-robot Interactions, especially for the safety strategy issues. The suggestion to solve the physical Human-robot Interaction safety issues has been also proposed given to the review works.

“…While collaborative robots have application in several environments, they are primarily associated with the manufacturing industry, where their higher degree of mobility and autonomy enables them to handle objects simultaneously with the human counterpart, among other abilities. So far, this type of interaction has been heavily regulated to comply safety standards [70,71], but new developments [72,73] may soon make it possible to establish a breakthrough, thus having an intrinsic social impact on the production system and labor. From a bibliometric perspective, we could not find a cohesive cluster of cooperative robots.…”

Abstract:As robotics becomes ubiquitous, there is increasing interest in understanding how to develop robots that better respond to social needs, as well as how robotics impacts society. This is evidenced by the growing rate of publications on social robotics. In this article, we analyze the citation network of academic articles on social robotics to understand its structure, reveal research trends and expose its knowledgebase. We found eight major clusters, namely robots as social partners, human factors and ergonomics on human robot interaction, robotics for children's development, swarm robotics, emotion detection, assessment of robotic surgery, robots for the elderly and telepresence and human robot interaction in rescue robots. In addition, despite its social focus, social science literature as a source of knowledge is barely present. Research trends point to studies on applications, rather than to specific technologies or morphologies, and in particular, towards robots as partners, for child development and assistance for the elderly.
