UF Researcher Receives NSF Award for Research in Human-Robot Collaboration in Remanufacturing

Boyi Hu, Ph.D., an assistant professor for the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE) at the University of Florida, has received funding from the National Science Foundation in support of his research in on human-robot collaboration in the remanufacturing industry.

Remanufacturing is an industrial process that takes an old or used product and returns it to a “like-new” performance level and quality. Remanufacturing differs from recycling in that the remanufacturing process involves preserving the entire form of a product, whereas recycling breaks the product down. Common products that are remanufactured are aircraft or automotive parts, electronic equipment and medical equipment.
