The future of human-robot synergy in interactive environments: The role of robots at the workplace
Publication

The increasing integration of robots into workplaces raises critical questions about human-robot synergy in interactive environments. While robots are designed to enhance productivity and safety, their successful deployment depends on effective collaboration, trust, and seamless interaction with human workers. However, existing research has primarily focused on either technical capabilities or human-centered concerns in isolation, leaving a gap in understanding how robots can be meaningfully integrated into dynamic workspaces. In this workshop, we bring together experts from robotics, HCI, and work sciences to explore the future of human-robot collaboration at the workplace. This workshop aims to identify key design principles, ethical considerations, and practical challenges. The insights gained will inform future research and policy recommendations, shaping a future in which robots act not as mere tools but as cooperative agents that enhance workplace efficiency, well-being, and innovation.
