Technologies and Advanced Tools for Human-Augmentation in Smart Industry

The technologies disseminated since the Industry 4.0 phenomenon have changed industrial systems and the role of the user within production processes with the introduction of tools that increase the transmission and dissemination of information. This phenomenon has reached its maximum expansion with the introduction of Industry 5.0, which with its proposed paradigms emphasises the need to introduce advanced systems designed ac-cording to a Human-Centred Design approach. By surveying the interaction and control systems introduced in recent years, with a particular focus on the manufacturing sector, it was possible to identify the latest instances in the industrial sector relating to human-machine interaction, between real and virtual space, physical and sensory perception and physical-directed and cognitive-neural control. Through methodologies and analysis tools, research has enabled the acquisition of new forms of knowledge oriented towards scientific knowledge with the aim of aligning design knowledge and industrial and production progress.
