Human-robot collaboration is the potential solution to numerous problems in manufacturing, the military, healthcare, disaster recovery and education. Effective and sustainable human-robot collaborations are achievable through seamless interactions between humans and robots supported by intuitive human-robot interface and well-considered interaction models and methods.

Human-robot interaction introduces multidimensional problems that require technical and human factor-related considerations. This special issue seeks papers on the development and evaluation of innovative solutions that improve the quality of interactions between humans and robots.
