Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) is a type of automation where robots and humans work together in a shared environment to accomplish a task or set of tasks. HRC requires robots to be aware of their human counterparts and be able to understand, interpret, and react to their behavior and instructions. This type of collaboration allows robots to take on more complex and intricate tasks, while allowing humans to focus on more strategic or creative tasks. The result is an increase in efficiency and productivity for both humans and robots.
