Abstract
Through combining robots’ power, consistency, and accuracy with humans’ creativity and flexibility, human–robot interaction offers new ways of manufacturing . For the successful introduction of human–robot interaction in manufacturing , it is important not only to consider the necessary change of qualification, but also to create a positive attitude toward this new technology as expectations trigger behavior and consequently influence the quality of work. The study reported in this chapter analyzes how attitudes toward collaborative robots are influenced through interaction with an industrial robot .
