In the manu facturing sector\, Industry 4.0 largely aims to transform production agent s from fully physical systems to cyber-physical systems. This is achieved by integration of various technologies such as Internet-of-Things\, Artifi cial Intelligence (AI)\, big data\, edge computing\, cyber-security etc. t o bridge the digital and physical worlds. In this respect\, a strong neces sity to increase productivity through automated means while avoiding redun dancy of human workers has led to great challenges on the global economy.\ nIn this lecture\, the concept of Industry 5.0 that capitalises on a human -centric approach is elucidated\, offering a solution to counter the issue s of sidelining human capitals in Industry 4.0 environments. The notion is to leverage the possibility of intertwining robots and autonomous systems with the human brain through intelligent human-machine interfaces\, allow ing both parties (humans and machines) to work as collaborators instead of competitors. As such\, while the main concern in Industry 4.0 is focused on automation\, Industry 5.0 will be a synergy between humans and autonomo us machines to drive the next generation of production strategies.\nThe le cture will deliberate approaches to bring back human capital to the factor y floors in the era of Industry 5.0. Emerging technologies such as wearabl es and AI to pair humans and machines and exploit human brainpower and cre ativity to increase production efficiency will be described. On the one ha nd\, the robotic workforce will be perceptive and can intelligently learn human intention and desire. On the other hand\, the human workforce will c arry out tasks alongside robots\, not only with no fear but also with peac e of mind\, knowing that their robotic co-workers adequately understand th em and have the ability to effectively collaborate with them.\nThe lecture will also explain the roles and responsibilities of the next generation o f collaborative robots\, denoted as cobots\, in Industry 5.0 environments. Cobots will not be only a programmable machine that can perform repetitiv e tasks but also will transform into an ideal human companion to realise h igh value-added production tasks\, flourishing trusted autonomy\, reduced waste and increased human safety. The impact of Industry 5.0 on the manufa cturing industry and overall economy from the productivity point of view w ill be discussed\, leading to the co-existence of humans and cobots within a circular economic ecosystem.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Zhida Li\, CASS Joint Chapter of Vancouver and Victoria - IEEE Vancouver | Dejan Kihas\, Control \, Robotics and Systems Joint Chapter of IEEE Vancouver\n\nSpeaker(s): Sae id Nahavandi \, \n\nAgenda: \nLecture begins: 5:00PM\n\nDiscussion: 6:00PM \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/510173 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/510173 ORGANIZER:kdejan@shaw.ca SEQUENCE:126 SUMMARY:Transitioning from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0: A Human-Centric Ap proach URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/510173 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p style="text-align: justify\;">The advent o f digital technologies for advanced manufacturing has resulted in a rapid transformation in the industrial world. In the manufacturing sector\, Indu stry 4.0 largely aims to transform production agents from fully physical s ystems to cyber-physical systems. This is achieved by integration of vario us technologies such as Internet-of-Things\, Artificial Intelligence (AI)\ , big data\, edge computing\, cyber-security etc. to bridge the digital an d physical worlds. In this respect\, a strong necessity to increase produc tivity through automated means while avoiding redundancy of human workers has led to great challenges on the global economy.<br>In this lecture\, th e concept of Industry 5.0 that capitalises on a human-centric approach is elucidated\, offering a solution to counter the issues of sidelining human capitals in Industry 4.0 environments. The notion is to leverage the poss ibility of intertwining robots and autonomous systems with the human brain through intelligent human-machine interfaces\, allowing both parties (hum ans and machines) to work as collaborators instead of competitors. As such \, while the main concern in Industry 4.0 is focused on automation\, Indus try 5.0 will be a synergy between humans and autonomous machines to drive the next generation of production strategies.<br>The lecture will delibera te approaches to bring back human capital to the factory floors in the era of Industry 5.0. Emerging technologies such as wearables and AI to pair h umans and machines and exploit human brainpower and creativity to increase production efficiency will be described. On the one hand\, the robotic wo rkforce will be perceptive and can intelligently learn human intention and desire. On the other hand\, the human workforce will carry out tasks alon gside robots\, not only with no fear but also with peace of mind\, knowing that their robotic co-workers adequately understand them and have the abi lity to effectively collaborate with them.<br>The lecture will also explai n the roles and responsibilities of the next generation of collaborative r obots\, denoted as cobots\, in Industry 5.0 environments. Cobots will not be only a programmable machine that can perform repetitive tasks but also will transform into an ideal human companion to realise high value-added p roduction tasks\, flourishing trusted autonomy\, reduced waste and increas ed human safety. The impact of Industry 5.0 on the manufacturing industry and overall economy from the productivity point of view will be discussed\ , leading to the co-existence of humans and cobots within a circular econo mic ecosystem.</p><br /><br />Agenda: <br /><p>Lecture begins: 5:00PM</p>\ n<p>Discussion: 6:00PM</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p> END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
