In the era of Industry 5.0, there is a growing interest in harnessing the potential of human-robot collaboration (HRC) in manufacturing environments. This research paper focuses on the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) to augment HRC capabilities, particularly in addressing configuration issues when programming robots to collaborate with human operators. By harnessing the capabilities of LLMs in combination with a user-friendly augmented reality (AR) interface, the proposed approach empowers human operators to seamlessly collaborate with robots, facilitating smooth and efficient assembly processes. This research introduces the CollabAI an AI assistant for task management and natural communication based on a fine-tuned GPT model focusing on collaborative manufacturing. Real-world experiments conducted in two manufacturing settings coming from the automotive and machinery industries. The findings have implications for various industries seeking to increase productivity and foster a new era of efficient and effective collaboration in manufacturing environments.
