Beyond Efficiency: Ethical Considerations of Adopting Cobots
In this article, researcher Nisar Ahmed Channa, a PhD Researcher in the Human Robot Workforce program based at Queensland University of Technology, examines the ethical considerations surrounding the adoption of collaborative Robots (Cobots) in manufacturing.
While Cobots are poised to revolutionise Industry 5.0 by enhancing efficiency and enabling human-machine collaboration, their integration also raises concerns about emotional stress, workplace dynamics, social acceptance, and data privacy. Channa highlights the importance of addressing these ethical challenges to ensure Cobots contribute positively to the workforce and society. By prioritising ethics in Cobot adoption, businesses can foster trust, minimize risks, and create a more harmonious, future-ready workplace.
