  Recently, human-robot interaction (HRI) is an extensive research topic and
theme which gained importance and significance. HRI aims at the complementary
combination between the robot capabilities and human skills. The robots assist
humans in terms of precision, speed, and force. The humans contribute in terms
of the experience, knowledge of executing the task, intuition, and easy
adaptation and learning, and understanding of control strategies. In this work,
the applications of human-robot interaction are reviewed. These applications
could be industrial, medical, agricultural, servical, and educational. HRI can
be found in industrial applications in picking and placing in the production
lines, welding processes, parts assembly, and painting. Assistive robotics are
one from the highest profile areas in HRI. For people with the physical and the
mental challenges, the robots can provide the opportunity of interaction and
therapy. In addition, HRI can be widely applied in hospitals. Nowadays, HRI is
very important for facing the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In
agriculture, the cooperation between human and the robot helps with many tasks
including harvesting, seeding, fertilizing, spraying, weed detection, hauling,
and mowing. HRI can also be found in other applications such as education,
mining, and home use.
