What is it about?
This project aims to improve human-robot interaction in manufacturing by using EEG devices to detect operators' cognitive and emotional states. A robot adjusts its behavior in real time based on these signals. It speeds up when the operator is focused and slows down when stressed, as indicated by RGB lighting. This approach lays the groundwork for more complex collaborations between multiple users and robots.

Why is it important?
Recognizing the significant influence of emotional and cognitive states on human performance underscores the critical need for a thorough comprehension of these factors in Human-Robot Interaction. This understanding is essential not only for enhancing collaborative efficiency but also for fostering a harmonious and productive partnership between humans and robots.
