The development of the Rossini Modular KIT allowed to bring significant advance in terms of tecnology and awareness on collaborative robotics for all Europe. In particular, the set of efficient and modular tools developed within Rossini enable and ease different specific activities: from the hazarda assessment evaluation untill the multiple detection of humans on a monitored area where robots are working. Nevertheless, important activities still need quite a few effort in terms of knowledge, development and collaboration: from the necessity to refine (or define new well-establised interfaces) untill the identification of solutions able to bring the human-robot iteraction even closer (and more trustworthy), also in terms of standadization (that still present several gaps on this topic).

In particular, the following topic have been identified as important issues to tackle in future activities and research:

  • Cross-domain approach for both design and validation 8in terms of safety and beyond)
  • Considering the need to widespread HRC technologies throughout very different kind of people
  • Identification of the most suitable data to collect and monitor
  • Inclusion of a proper ergonomics perspective to interpret data
  • Automatization of the risk assessment in the design phase
  • Maintaining coherence in development with the already published standards
