Human-robot interaction: what changes in the workplace?

Home > The news of EUROGIP and occupational risks in Europe > Human-robot interaction: what changes in the workplace?

A recent Eurofound report, based on surveys and case studies, adds to the debate on the automation of work. It highlights the new interactions between workers and robots and the resulting changes in organisation and working conditions.

Advanced robotic technologies are transforming the world of work. They are changing the way we work, redefining roles and methods, and influencing business models. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a key role in making these systems more powerful and flexible than traditional robots. It also facilitates seamless collaboration between humans and robots, as demonstrated by collaborative robotics applications.

With the increasing complexity of modern robots, it is crucial to understand how they interact with workers. We need to examine the implications for organisation and working conditions if we are to integrate these technologies effectively. The changes brought about by advanced robotics require strategic thinking to ensure a positive impact on companies and their employees.
