Industry 5.0 marks a significant shift in manufacturing, prioritizing the well-being of workers alongside automation. Central to this ethos is the human digital twin, revolutionizing human-machine relationships by enabling real-time monitoring and optimization of various parameters, especially ergonomics. Collaborative robots (cobots) also play a crucial role, working alongside humans to enhance productivity and flexibility. However, integrating them into human-centric environments poses challenges, particularly in effectively controlling robotic movements to foster collaboration. To address these challenges, trust must flow in both directions: from the human operator to the cobot, and vice versa. Ensuring such a bidirectional trust flow will pave the way for a more inclusive and sustainable future of manufacturing. The workshop has two primary goals: improving the well-being and ergonomic conditions of operators while maximizing production efficiency. By fostering a culture of trust that flows both ways among all stakeholders—humans and cobots—the workshop seeks to propel the industry toward a future characterized by efficiency, sustainability, and inclusivity.
