  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Security-Related Advanced Technologies in Critical Infrastructure Protection

  • 434 Accesses

Abstract

Cobotics or Human-robot Collaboration is a key technology in the industry. This paper presents the historical background of robotics and the trends genesis with highlights the current and potential limits of this interactions developments. The goal of the authors is to review the literature and introduce the collected knowledge in this research field. Robotics in the last ten years increased grandiosely in a wide range of the critical infrastructure area. The review was made after numerous references knew.
