Humans and robots working together are being discussed widely both in the academic and industrial sectors. As being discussed, there is a need for a more novel type of interaction method between humans and robots. This demonstrational paper is presenting the technical advancement and prototype of remote control and re- programming of the Industrial robot. This development is safe and efficient and allows the operator to focus rather on the final task than the programming process.

Industry 4.0 aims at building cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) (which comprise intelligent, real-time-capable, networked sensors and actuators) that unite both digital and physical worlds to make manufacturing increasingly smart by utilising the internet of things (IoT)[1][2]. Industry 4.0 [3] includes a range of digital technologies that includes but is not limited to Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Digital Twins (DT), predictive maintenance, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and big data. This stack is essential in achieving smart factories of the future (FoF). However, little research has been conducted to develop a user- centred human-robot interaction (HRI) in the context of industry 4.0 environment requirements. HRI is the study of how humans communicate with robotic systems. It informs us on how to best design, evaluate, understand and implement robotic systems that are competent enough for carrying out collaborative tasks with the human stakeholder [4][5].
