Seamless human–robot collaboration requires the equipping of robots with cognitive capabilities that enable their awareness environment, as well actions take place inside assembly cell. This paper proposes an AI-based system comprised three modules can capture operator and environment status process status, identify tasks are being executed by using vision-based machine learning, provide customized support from robot side for shared tasks, automatically adapting to operator’s needs...
The current market trends have focused on personalization, where products based the same platform can different variations so they satisfy multiple segments. Trying to keep up with these trends, industries introduced hybrid Human Robot Collaborative stations that offer short throughput times, along flexibility process tasks. For this kind of be achieved in production, a concept is examined for remotely reprograming industrial robots. As result, fully automated assembly line or production...
Nowadays, in order to cover the needs of market for product mass customization, industries have started move hybrid production cells, involving both robots and human operators. Research has been done during previous years promote improve collaboration between humans robots, trying address topics such as safety, awareness cognitive support form Augmented Reality based instructions. Results research show bottlenecks related way interaction operators with supportive systems though. Direct...
This paper introduces a method for training operators using digital technologies. More specifically the is focused on teleoperation and remote control of resources sensors simulated environment with virtual elements, before entering real one. The objective to improve bring them closer Industry 4.0 technologies where robotic other automation solutions are tackled support production activities. In this activity benefits as well VR technology presented. specifically, simulation application has...
