CoBot Studio: mixed reality simulation environment for human-machine cooperation


Investigation of communication processes in physical collaboration between humans and robots

Project content

The goal of the CoBot Studio project is to develop a mixed reality simulation environment for the investigation of communication processes in physical collaboration between humans and robots. A large number of different people can perform industry-relevant collaborative actions with robots within defined scenarios (physical approach, hand-over, assembly). Within the scenarios, non-verbal communication signals (motion sequences, visual signals) of the robot are varied and examined for their interpretability for humans and the associated evaluation of the collaborative experience (well-being, subjective safety, control perception).

Key aspects

  • Mixed-reality simulation environments for collaborative industrial applications
  • Modelling of robot intentions combined with visual signals
  • Investigation of non-verbal communication signals of the robot
  • Interpretability of robot actions by humans
  • Evaluation of the collaboration experience
  • Design principles for human-compatible design of motion sequences and signals
