Integrating XAI in Metaverse for Operator 5.0: An Analytical Review

The concept development of Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 has shifted the existing technology integration in manufacturing. Technology should be able to support the creation of sustainable, human-centered, and resilient manufacturing operations. Answering this call, operator 5.0 has been conceptualized for development involving current technology such as Metaverse and XAI. However, extant research omits how XAI should be able to be integrated to achieve a human-centric operator. Through an analytical review of extant literature, this paper tries to conceptualize the integration of XAI into a metaverse environment to support the human-technology collaboration for Operator 5.0. Our study attempts to propose a conceptual approach to enhance the human-cyber physical system using XAI. XAI can improve the algorithm rationalization that can be a valuable input to operators. © 2024 IEEE.
