For robots to work with people, they must understand people

Submitted by lasalle on

economist.com (17.07.2017) Direct interaction between robots and humans at work is changing the face—or rather the arms—of manufacturing. Such interaction also means that roboticists need to design effective team mates as well as efficient workers. Cobots operate in a realm where human thoughts, human modes of communication and human safety are paramount. Rethink Robotics, a firm in Boston, had this in mind when it developed Sawyer, a one-armed cobot, and his two-armed colleague, Baxter (both pictured above). These robots are not the isolated moving arms of an assembly-line ’bot.

[Beitrag] Deutschland: Studie zu "mobiler Arbeit"

Submitted by monitor on

Arbeitsschutz-Portal (19.08.2017) Mobiles Arbeiten ist zur regelrechten Glaubensfrage geworden. Die einen schwören auf die Arbeit von überall und genießen die Flexibilität und Freiheit – die anderen sehen genau darin das Problem: Fließen Privatleben und Arbeit nicht zu sehr zusammen, wenn sie räumlich nicht mehr getrennt sind?
