Abstract: Abstract Recent developments and general penetration of society by relations between robots and human beings generate multiple feelings, opinions, and reactions. Such a situation develops a request to analyze this area; multiple references to facts indicate that the situation differs from public opinion. This paper provides a detailed analysis performed on the wide area of human–robot interaction (HRI). It delivers an original classification of HRI with respect to human emotion, technical means, human reaction prediction, and the general cooperation-collaboration field. Analysis was executed using reference outcome sorting and reasoning into separate groups, provided in separate tables. Finally, the analysis is finished by developing a big picture of the situation with strong points and general tendencies outlined. The paper concludes that HRI still lacks methodology and training techniques for the initial stage of human–robot cooperation. Also, in the paper, instrumentation for HRI is analyzed, and it is inferred that the main bottlenecks remain in the process of being understood, lacking an intuitive interface and HRI rules formulation, which are suggested for future work.
