The need for human-robot collaboration in manufacturing is increasingly evident. While traditional human-robot collaboration systems have primarily focused on safety and efficiency, the perception and comfort of human workers are equally critical. This underscores the importance of adopting a human-centered approach to system design. Our research aims to understand the impact of robotic systems on their human collaborators. Through subject experiments, we have been investigating how robotic movements and system-driven information presentation influence human behavior and preference. 

 In this talk, I will discuss these findings and their implications. We believe these insights provide valuable guidance for designing human-centered systems, including robot motion planning, task allocation and sequencing, etc., creating collaborative environments that seamlessly integrate human well-being and productivity.
