Machine Learning Improves Human-Robot Interaction in Productive Environments: A Review

In the new generation of industries, including all the advances introduced by Industry 4.0, human robot interaction (HRI), by means of automatic learning and computer vision, become an important element to accomplish. HRI allows to create collaborative environments between people and robots, avoiding the latter generating a risk of occupational safety. In addition to the automatic systems, the interaction by mean of automated learning processes provides necessary information to increase productivity and minimize delivery response times by helping to optimize complex production planning processes. In this paper, it is presented a review of the technologies necessary to be considered as basic elements in all processes of industry 4.0 as a crucial linking element between humans, robots, intelligent and traditional machines.
