Popis: Collaborative robots or co-bots combine the strength of the human (dexterity and problem-solving ability) and the robot (precision and strength) to implement tasks that cannot be fully automatized and reduce the workload of human workers. In this paper, the results of the ClaXon project are presented whereby a fully operational collaborative robot was integrated in the manufacturing line of the Audi Brussels production plant. Social studies were realized with factory workers to investigate the human-robot interaction and assess the acceptance of co-bots.
