A Concise Taxonomy of Human-Robot Interactions and Soft Skills Synergy

With the substantial interest in human-centered manufacturing, human interactions with robots and embodied Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become more significant. Major topics related to the Human-Robot Interactions (HRI) include the mode of the interaction and the aspect of interaction. The mode of interaction addresses the method of the interaction and the nature of the information that the human and the robot exchange. The aspects of the interactions represent the dimensions of the interaction like physical and psychological among others. Therefore, this article provides a brief taxonomy to shape the landscape of the HRI. This taxonomy will help in determining the human skills and their relationship with robot interaction.
