The advancement of robotics technology over the last years and the parallel evolution of the AI, Big Data, Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) paradigms have paved the ground for applications that extend far beyond the use of robots as mindless repetitive machines. The number of technical configurations/solutions grows exponentially when considering factors such as (a) the particularities of the task to be performed (e.g. type of part, weight, dimensions, process to be carried out etc.) (b) the type of robots that can address these requirements (fixed or mobile robots, high/low payload, exoskeletons, aerial robots etc.), (c) the type of collaboration and interaction that would be appropriate for the task and (d) the special requirements of the production domain where such tasks are needed. This chapter aims to present the existing approaches on the implementation of human robot collaborative applications and highlight the trends towards achieving seamless integration of humans and robots as co-workers in the factories of the future.
