Unlocking the Potential of Human-Robot Synergy Under Advanced Industrial Applications: The FEROX Simulator

Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) in advanced industrial scenarios has emerged as a transformative force. Modern robots, infused with artificial intelligence (AI), can enhance human capabilities, offering a wide spectrum of opportunities in agriculture, forestry, construction and many other domains. However, the complex nature of HRC demands realistic simulators to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This paper introduces the FEROX Simulator, purpose-built for robot-assisted wild berry collection. We briefly delve into the simulator’s capabilities to showcase its potential as a platform to develop HRC systems. Our research underscores the need for simulators designed for challenging HRC contexts and aims to inspire further advancements in this domain.
