1. A robotic assistance device, comprising:
a robotic arm configured assist a human being, the robotic arm including at least a first operative piece;
one or more sensors configured to receive input data, the input data comprising information related to one or more activities being performed by the human being, a workspace in which the one or more activities are performed, a workpiece being affected by the one or more activities, and an object being held by the human being; and
a processor operatively connected to the one or more sensors and the first robotic arm, the processor configured to:
process data received from the one or more sensors,
apply a machine learning model to the processed data to determine that a task should be performed by the robotic assistance device,
determine, based on the sensor data, a classification associated with an object held by the human being and configure the operative piece of the robot based on the classification; and
cause the operative piece to perform the task to reduce cognitive load on the human being.
