The present chapter addresses the fundamental roles played by communication and mutual awareness in human/robot interaction and co-operation at the workplace. The chapter reviews how traditional industrial robots in the manufacturing sector have been used for repetitive and strenuous tasks for which they were segregated due to their hazardous size and strength, and so are still perceived as threatening by operators in manufacturing. This means that successful introduction of new collaborative systems where robotic technology will be working alongside and directly with human operators depends on human acceptance and engagement. The chapter discusses the important reassuring role played by communication in human–robot interaction and how involving users in the design process increases not only the efficiency of communication, but provides a reassuring effect.
