“…Several authors emphasize that Licklider' made metamorphic use of the term symbiosis, since computers are not living entities [17,18]. In the literature, however, the term symbiosis is no longer restricted to organisms, but has been extended to non-living entities, including machines, as possible actors in symbiotic relationships [9,11]. Hence, machines can be part of a symbiotic relationship.…”

The vision of a symbiotic partnership between humans and machines has existed since the 1960s. With this paper we provide the first conceptualization of the human-machine symbiosis (HMS) and make three important contributions: we present the fundamentals of HMS by focusing on objectives, requirements, and boundaries; we propose a framework for the design of HMS; and we review HMS research and, specifically, what the literature says with respect to whether HMS has already been achieved.

“…Even if not made explicit in the papers, in most cases we are talking about one human and one machine. Three papers specifically highlight this 1:1 relationship [11,39,42]. Xu et al, however, postulate that a limit of only two actors is not suitable for grid computing [48].…”

“…The robot is endowed with a screwdriver and therefore it can supports the human in all the screwing/unscrewing operations of the process. Such HRC scenario can be addressed deploying Planning and Scheduling (P&S) technology [4], i.e., modeling the control problem as a timeflexible planning problem and, then, solving it by means of a hierarchical timelinebased application [20]. The hierarchical approach provides a description of the problem at different levels of abstraction ranging from the process definition level to the robot task implementation level.…”

“…Pursuing the hierarchical modeling approach described in [20,4], it is possible to model a HRC scenario by identifying three hierarchical levels. A supervision level models the process and the high-level tasks that must be performed.…”

“…Most importantly, handling temporal uncertainty both at planning and execution time results as a key capability for effectively and safely deploy P&S robot control solutions. Thus, a new system, called PLanning and Acting with TImeliNes under Uncertainty (PLATINUM), is presented here constituting a uniform framework for planning and execution with timelines with (temporal) uncertainty 4 .…”

This paper presents a novel planning framework, called PLATINUM that advances the state of the art with the ability of dealing with temporal uncertainty both at planning and plan execution level. PLATINUM is a comprehensive planning system endowed with (i) a new algorithm for temporal planning with uncertainty, (ii) heuristic search capabilities grounded on hierarchical modelling and (iii) a robust plan execution module to address temporal uncertainty while executing plans. The paper surveys the capabilities of this new planning system that has been recently deployed in a manufacturing scenario to support Human-Robot Collaboration.
