Assembly Tasks

In current industrial systems, automation is a very important aspect for assessing manufacturing production performance related to working times, accuracy of operations and quality. In particular, the introduction of a robotic system in the working area should guarantee some improvements, such as risks reduction for human operators, better quality results and a speed increase for production processes. In this context, human action remains still necessary to carry out part of the subtasks, as in the case of composites assembly processes. This study aims at presenting a case study regarding the reorganization of the working activity carried out in workstation in which a composite fuselage panel is assembled in order to demonstrate, by means of simulation tool, that some of the advantages previously listed can be achieved also in aerospace industry. In particular, an entire working process for composite fuselage panel assembling will be simulated and analyzed in order to demonstrate and verify the applicability and effectiveness of human–robot interaction (HRI), focusing on working times and ergonomics and respecting the constraints imposed by standards ISO 10218 and ISO TS 15066. Results show the effectiveness of HRI both in terms of assembly performance, by reducing working times and ergonomics—for which the simulation provides a very low risk index.

Learning Abilities

This chapter presents an overview of a typical scenario of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) in which a robot navigates to a person for conveying information. Indoor robot navigation is a challenging task due to the complexity of real-home environments and the need of online learning abilities to adjust for dynamic conditions. A comparison between systems with different sensor typologies shows that vision-based systems promise to provide good performance and a wide scope of usage at reasonable cost. Moreover, vision-based systems can perform different tasks simultaneously by applying different algorithms to the input data stream thus enhancing the flexibility of the system. The authors introduce the state of the art of several computer vision methods for realizing indoor robotic navigation to a person and human-robot interaction. A case study has been conducted in which a robot, which is part of an AAL system, navigates to a person and interacts with her. The authors evaluate this test case and give an outlook on the potential of learning robot vision in ambient homes.

Production Conditions

Die industrielle Mensch-Roboter-Interaktion (MRI) eignet sich nach Einschätzung von Experten vor allem für die spezifischen Produktionsbedingungen kleiner und mittlerer Unternehmen (KMU). Nichtsdestotrotz finden sich MRI-Lösungen derzeit vorwiegend in Großunternehmen. Eine empirische Befragung von 81 Vertretern deutscher Industrieunternehmen legt die Vermutung nahe, dass es sich hierbei nicht nur um ein Umsetzungsdefizit handelt. Vielmehr scheinen KMU die Potenziale von MRI-Lösungen systematisch zu unterschätzen.   According to experts, industrial human-robot interaction (HRI) is particularly suitable for the specific production conditions of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Nevertheless, HRI solutions are currently mainly found in large companies. An empirical survey of 81 representatives of German industrial companies suggests that this is not just due to barriers in implementing collaborative robots. On the contrary, SMEs seem to systematically underestimate the potential of HRI solutions.

This paper presents a safety analysis of a Robotic Fracture Surgery System using the Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA). It focuses particularly on hazards caused by the human in the loop. The robotic system and operating staff are modeled including information flow between different components of the system. The analysis has generated a set of requirements for the system design that can ultimately mitigate the identified hazards, as well as a preliminary set of human factors that can improve safety.

Formal Problem

Purpose or research is to find solvable tasks for increasing the effectiveness of collaborative interaction between people and robots in ergatic robotic systems, or, in other words, in collaborative robotic systems. Methods. A comprehensive analysis of works published in highly rated peer-reviewed open-access scientific publications was carried out to achieve this goal. Main terms and concepts of collaborative robotics are described in § 1 and their current understanding in the research community is also described. The structure of workspaces in interaction zone of a person and robot is described. The criteria for assigning robot to the class of collaborative ones are also described. The criteria for safe interaction of a person and robot in a single workspace is described in § 2. Various grounds for classifying human-robot interactions in collaborative RTAs are described in § 3. Results. A significant part of published works about collaborative robotics is devoted to the organization of safe man and robot interaction. Less attention is paid to the effectiveness improvement of such interaction. An up-to-date task in the problem of efficiency improvement of collaborative robotic systems is the identification of tasks that have already been solved in other areas - in particular, in the field of organizational systems management. The possibility of using the term "team" for collaborative robots in a collaborative PTC is stated in § 4. A formal problem setting of optimal distribution in teamwork of collaborative robots, similar to the problem of heterogeneous team formation in the theory of organizational systems management is proposed in § 5. Conclusions. Proposed task setting of optimal distribution of works in collaborative robots’ team shows possibility of using results obtained in group of mathematical models of commands formation and functioning for control of collaborative robotic systems in order to increase efficiency of people and robots interaction. It is prospectively to continue the search for adapting models and governance mechanisms to the theory of organizational system management and integrated activities methodology.
