Today and tomorrow's industry requires modern technology where collaboration takes place between
people, between people and machines and between machines. Machines can monitor themselves,
analyze the results and autonomously optimize operating conditions and production. The result is
higher efficiency and productivity. In this lecture, Prof. Solis will present an overview of the ongoing
projects in research and education at Karlstad University within the applications areas to ageing,
energy, environment and education. In particular, the challenges within Industry 5.0 will be
exemplified with an ongoing research project that deals with human-centered Industry 5.0. In
particular, I will present the integration of machine learning-based 3D gesture recognition system to
make it easier for humans to send commands to a collaborative robot through body language as well
as the integration of mixed reality for visualisation of both 3D cyber space and physical space to
enable bidirectional human-robot interaction. Some other challenges related to adaptive control
methods on battery energy storage in controlled environment plant production systems will be shortly
introduced
