Robots have been helping people for decades by doing tasks that are too hard, too dangerous, or physically impossible for humans to carry out themselves. But so far, the biggest successes for human-robot collaborations—such as those in manufacturing and automotive industries—still require the two to be separated for safety reasons. This article delves into how roboticists are working to upgrade this paradigm and make it possible for humans and robots to work together side by side, each excelling at what they do best and helping the other with their pitfalls.
