There is growing interest for manufacturing enterprises to embrace the drivers of the Smart Industry paradigm. Among these drivers, human\u2013robot physical co-manipulation of objects has gained significant interest in the literature on assembly operations. Motivated by the requirement for human dyads between the human and the robot counterpart, this study investigates recent literature on the implementation methods of human\u2013robot collaborative assembly scenarios. Using a combination of strings, the researchers performed a systematic review search, sourcing 451 publications from various databases (Science Direct (253), IEEE Xplore (49), Emerald (32), PudMed (21) and SpringerLink (96)). A coding assignment in Eppi-Reviewer helped screen the literature based on \u2018exclude\u2019 and \u2018include\u2019 criteria. The final number of full-text publications considered in this literature review is 118 peer-reviewed research articles published up until September 2022. The findings anticipate that research publications in the fields of human\u2013robot collaborative assembly will continue to grow. Understanding and modeling the human interaction and behavior in robot co-assembly is crucial to the development of future sustainable smart factories. Machine vision and digital twins modeling begin to emerge as promising interfaces for the evaluation of tasks distribution strategies for mitigating the actual human ergonomic and safety risks in collaborative assembly solutions design.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/robotics12020037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]],"date-time":"2023-03-08T02:08:14Z","timestamp":1678241294000},"page":"37","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Research Perspectives in Collaborative Assembly: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1618-2350","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thierry","family":"Yonga Chuengwa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering, Tshwane University of Technology, Staatsartillerie Rd, Pretoria 0183, South Africa"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6861-4437","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan Adriaan","family":"Swanepoel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering, Tshwane University of Technology, Staatsartillerie Rd, Pretoria 0183, South Africa"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7250-3665","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anish Matthew","family":"Kurien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"F\u2019SATI, Department of Electrical Engineering, Tshwane University of Technology, Staatsartillerie Rd, Pretoria 0183, South Africa"}]},{"given":"Mukondeleli Grace","family":"Kanakana-Katumba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FEBE, Tshwane University of Technology, Staatsartillerie Rd, Pretoria 0183, South Africa"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6060-8200","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karim","family":"Djouani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"F\u2019SATI, Department of Electrical Engineering, Tshwane University of Technology, Staatsartillerie Rd, Pretoria 0183, South Africa"},{"name":"LISSI LAB, University Paris Est-Creteil, Avenue du General de Gaulle, 9400 Cretail, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Park, C.Y., Laskey, K.B., Salim, S., and Lee, J.Y.
