The dynamic field of collaborative human-robot interaction (HRI) in organizational settings is thoroughly explored in this report. Presenting a verified framework that gives organizations the means to successfully traverse this changing landscape is the main goal. The report outlines a future where humans and robots work together to stimulate innovation, improve efficiency, and promote success across a range of industries by addressing important questions, challenges, and possibilities related to human-robot interaction (HRI). The report’s objective is to analyze and assess current frameworks for Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). This involves a thorough examination of the elements that constitute a successful HRC framework, a distinction between the viewpoints on HRC from different disciplines, and an understanding of the differences between various robot types. The study offers a revised and comprehensive framework for HRC, building on earlier conceptual and visual frameworks drawn from theoretical foundations and real-world implementations. The integration of empirical lessons from specific research projects carried out under the European Training Network for Industry Digital Transformation across Innovation Ecosystems (EINST4INE) is a distinctive feature of this report. These realizations provide a useful level of depth and practical applicability to the theoretical foundations covered in the literature, enhancing the proposed framework. The report begins with an introduction to the concepts of HRC and HRI, highlighting their critical roles across a variety of industries, in order to set the stage for the debates that follow. This lays the groundwork for a thorough investigation of the various facets of cooperative human-robot interaction and gives organizations a road map for realizing the full potential of this game-changing relationship.
