Human-Robot Co-Evolution: Achieving the full potential of future workplaces

物理人类机器人系统被广泛用于增强人类劳动者的能力并改善工作场所的人体工程学。该项目旨在开发机器人控制器，以塑造这些系统的共同进化。通过物理人机交互研究，它将产生人类如何适应与机器人一起工作的新知识，然后将其纳入机器人控制器的设计中。预期成果包括更好地理解人类的适应性，以及逐步形成人机互动的系统方法。这将为澳大利亚不同的技能和劳动密集型行业带来巨大的好处，例如提高工人的生产力和更安全的人机协作。

Physical human-robot systems are widely used to amplify the capability of human labourers and improve ergonomics in the workplace. This project aims to develop robot controllers that shape the co-evolution of these systems. Through physical human-robot interaction studies it will generate new knowledge of how humans adapt to working with robots, which will then be incorporated into the robot controller design. Expected outcomes include a better understanding of human adaptation and a systematic approach to shaping human-robot interaction over time. This should provide significant benefits across different skill and labour-intensive industries in Australia, such as improved worker productivity and safer human-robot collaboration.
