## Summary

A systematic review following PRISMA 2020 examined 83 empirical papers on human-robot collaboration published between 2021 and 2026, using Joint Action theory to classify them into nine constructs under three capacities: Representation, Prediction, and Integration. The analysis reveals how these constructs are distributed and co-occur across studies, identifies where empirical evidence is concentrated and where it is absent, and offers guidelines for future research.
