Seamless Human-Robot Interaction Through a Distributed Zero-Trust Architecture and Advanced User Interfaces

The proposed work presents a novel interaction platform designed to address the shortage of skilled workers in the labor market, facilitating the seamless integration of robotics and advanced user interfaces such as eXtended Reality (XR) to optimize Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) as well as Robot-Robot Collaboration (RRC) in an Industry 4.0 scenario. One of the most challenging situations is to optimize and simplify the collaborations of humans and robots to decrease or avoid system slowdowns, blocks, or dangerous situations for both users and robots. The advent of the LLMs (Large Language Model) have been breakthrough the whole IT environment because they perform well in different scenario from human text generation to autonomous systems management. Due to their malleability, LLMs have a primary role for Human-Robot collaboration processes. For this reason, the platform comprises three key technical components: a distributed zero-trust architecture, a virtual avatar, and digital twins of robots powered by the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) platform.
