Abstract
The integration of human and machine intelligence, or “Industry 5.0,” is typified by collaborative robots, or “cobots,” that complement human workers in a mutually advantageous way. This chapter explores how cobots, by providing a range of assistance, feedback, and learning opportunities, can enhance human creativity and productivity in Industry 5.0. It also looks at the benefits and cons of working with cobots in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, education, and entertainment. To illustrate the potential and difficulties of cobots as allies and facilitators of human creativity and efficiency, the chapter examines pertinent literature and case studies. It argues that by supporting human workers in a variety of jobs and scenarios, cobots can enhance human talents like creativity, invention, and critical thinking. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the potential future directions for this field of study and practice, as well as the ethical, social, and environmental effects of human-cobot collaboration.
