Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) plays a crucial role in enabling seamless collaboration between humans and robots, leading to increased productivity, efficiency, and safety in production processes.

To improve industrial acceptance, HRI systems need to improve the speed and robustness they realize without compromising on safety.

Industry 4.0 is characterized by the wave of digital technologies being implemented in industry, such as big data, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and collaborative robots.

Digitalization of industry is one of the prominent objectives that companies aim to achieve nowadays.

The traditional manufacturing methodology relies on manual optimization loops in which part of the information is manually exchanged from the different manufacturing steps coming from different formats, sizes, and types (data at rest/static data and data in motion) which requires different computing platforms and results in information silos.

Aircraft conversion is a process that involves taking an existing passenger plane and modifying it into a freight airplane.
