This start-up project intends to conceptualize 'intuitive interaction with technology' (robotic systems) in manufacturing industry with respect to its social dimension, to contribute to a research network of social scientists in the field of industrial and professional robotics, to link research areas of "Humans and Technology" (MuT) and of "Anthropomatics and Robotics" (AuR) at KIT in the application field of manufacturing and in the production sector by developing a concept of intuitive interaction systems, and to identify relevant research questions about the possibility of developing safer robot systems in closer human-machine intuitive interaction systems at the manufacturing shop floor level. Some of these questions will be employed in interviews with robot manufacturers, experts, and policy makers in different countries (Europe, Japan, and the US).
