Human-robot collaboration (HRC) is an emerging research area that has gained tremendous attention in both academia and industry. Yet, the feature that humans and robots sharing the workplace has led to safety concerns. In particular, the mental stress or safety awareness of human teammates during HRC remains unclear but is also of great importance to workplace safety. In this manuscript, we reviewed twenty-five studies for understanding the relationships between HRC and workers' mental stress or safety awareness. Specifically, we aimed to understand: (1) robot-related factors that may affect human workers' mental stress or safety awareness, (2) a number of measurements that could be used to evaluate workers' mental stress in HRC, and (3) various methods for measuring safety awareness that had been adopted or could be applied in HRC. According to our literature review, robot-related factors including robot characteristics, social touching and trajectory have relationships with workers' mental stress or safety awareness. For the measurement of mental stress and safety awareness, each method mentioned has its validity and rationality. Additionally, a discussion related to the potential co-robot actions to lower mental stress or improve safety awareness as well as future implications were provided.
人机协作（HRC）是一个新兴的研究领域，在学术界和工业界都受到了极大的关注。然而，人类和机器人共享工作场所这一特点引发了安全问题。特别是，在人机协作过程中，人类队友的心理压力或安全意识尚不清楚，但对工作场所安全也非常重要。在本论文中，我们回顾了25项研究，以了解人机协作与工人心理压力或安全意识之间的关系。具体而言，我们旨在了解：（1）可能影响人类工人心理压力或安全意识的机器人相关因素；（2）可用于评估人机协作中工人心理压力的一些测量方法；（3）已采用或可应用于人机协作的各种安全意识测量方法。根据我们的文献综述，包括机器人特性、社交接触和轨迹在内的机器人相关因素与工人的心理压力或安全意识有关。对于心理压力和安全意识的测量，所提及的每种方法都有其有效性和合理性。此外，还提供了有关潜在的协作机器人行动以减轻心理压力或提高安全意识的讨论以及未来的影响。
