In recent years, the integration of robots into the workplace has become increasingly prevalent. Nadine Reißner, Senior UX Researcher at KUKA, believes that it is time to put the human into focus in the development of robot technologies. For this, one important part is to consider the impact of human-robot interaction on the human. In a workshop at the European Robotics Forum she presents the consortium’s initial findings on this topic.
