Synopsis of Industry 5.0 Paradigm for Human-Robot Collaboration

Abstract

This chapter explores the synopsis of the Industry 5.0 paradigm, focusing on Human-robot collaboration, encompassing critical elements from following the progression of evolution from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 to the implementation of cutting-edge technologies and human-centric approaches within this framework. Industry 5.0 paradigm shift builds upon the foundation laid by Industry 4.0, with a renewed focus on integrating human intelligence and creativity with the capabilities of robots. The Operator of Industry 5.0 embodies the idea of skilled human operators working alongside automated systems to optimize performance and efficiency. Industry 5.0 technologies encompass collaborative robots (cobots) and advancements in robot learning, enabling safe and efficient collaboration between humans and machines and facilitating dynamic partnerships in shared workspaces. Human-centric approaches within Industry 5.0 technologies ensure that technological advancements align with human needs and preferences, fostering a work environment where humans and robots collaborate harmoniously. The concept of the Human Digital Twin offers a compelling instrument for identifying and optimizing human behavior within the context of Industry 5.0, enabling organizations to tailor processes and workflows to individual capabilities and preferences.
