Proactive Human-Robot Collaboration Toward Human-Centric Smart Manufacturing 1st Edition

Capture the future of factory floors with Proactive Human-Robot Collaboration Toward Human-Centric Smart Manufacturing, 1st Edition by Shufei Li, Pai Zheng, and Lihui Wang. This authoritative guide bridges advanced robotics, human factors, and smart manufacturing practices to help engineers, managers, and researchers deploy collaborative systems that prioritize people and performance.

Discover practical frameworks and evidence-based strategies for designing human-centric production environments where collaborative robots (cobots) anticipate human needs, reduce physical strain, and boost throughput. Clear chapters cover proactive interaction models, safety and ergonomics, AI-driven perception and intent recognition, control architectures, and real-world implementation challenges—presented with a focus on scalable solutions for Industry 4.0.

Whether you lead a production line in North America, optimize processes in Europe, or innovate in Asia’s manufacturing hubs, this book delivers actionable insights to improve worker well-being, operational resilience, and competitive advantage. Case studies and design principles translate theory into practice so teams can evaluate, pilot, and scale human-robot collaboration projects with confidence.

Ideal for industrial engineers, robotics designers, plant managers, and graduate students, this title sharpens decision-making around automation investments and workforce integration. It balances technical rigor with human-centered perspectives to make complex topics accessible and immediately useful.

Equip your organization to thrive in the era of smart, collaborative manufacturing—add Proactive Human-Robot Collaboration Toward Human-Centric Smart Manufacturing to your professional library today and lead the transition to safer, more productive, and more humane factories.
