Over the last decade, there has been a significant investment in humanoid and human-friendly robotics platforms. New safety standards have been developed, aimed at human-robot collaboration. In certain areas, robots have successfully entered our lives, vacuuming our floors and cutting our lawns. Yet in other areas, human-robot collaboration has not yet hit the mark, and social interaction has been identified as one of the ten “Science Robotics Grand Challenges”.

Professor Elizabeth Croft, Dean of Engineering at Monash University, discusses the development of human-robot interaction methods that will permit shared understanding of tasks, intentions and responsibilities necessary for humans to work and live together with robots.

A joint presentation by the Royal Society of Victoria with the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (Victorian Division).
