Beschrieben werden die aktuellen Ergebnisse und geplanten Arbeiten des Forschungsprojekts „pICASSO“, dessen Schwerpunkt in der Verlagerung von Steuerungstechnik in die Cloud liegt. Fokussiert wird die Umsetzung der drei Anwendungsfälle: teilautomatisierter Handarbeitsplatz, cloudbasierte Robotersteuerung sowie Cloud-Benutzerschnittstelle. Des Weiteren werden die notwendigen Anforderungen und Lösungen an die Sicherheit in der Kommunikation und Datenübertragung sowie einer geeigneten Ausführungsplattform erläutert.   This article describes the current results and future work of the research project pICASSO, whose key aspect is the relocation of control engineering into the cloud. It focuses on the realization of the three use cases: partly automated hand-work place, cloud-based robot control and cloud human-machine-interface. Furthermore the necessary requirements and solutions for security in communication and data transfer as well as a suitable execution environment are described.

Abstract In daily life, is very common to witness scenes in which it is necessary to obtain different ranges of colors in the paintings that are used either with water or oil. This range of colors comes from the fusion and homogenization of primary colors or tones. Frequently, the process of mixing and dosing are carried out by people who, by trial and error, determine the color desired by the user. Then, the quality and precision of the paint is affected and generate customer dissatisfaction, claims, waste, and low productivity. This article shows the design and start up process of an automatic mixer prototype that doses and mixes paint to create complex color shades by implementing a human-machine interface and a control stage and verification. Also, the results of this investigation shows the engineering process carried out to obtain a prototype of a functional, automatic, exact mixing machine and a homogenous and quality product that meets the customer’s requirements. Improvements that will can do and future work are included too.

AbstractTo minimize fatigue, sustain workloads, and reduce the risk of injuries, the exoskeleton Carry was developed. Carry combines a soft human–machine interface and soft pneumatic actuation to assist the elbow in load holding and carrying. We hypothesize that the assistance of Carry would decrease, muscle activity, net metabolic rate, and fatigue. With Carry providing 7.2 Nm of assistance, we found reductions of up to 50% for the muscle activity, up to 61% for the net metabolic rate, and up to 99% for fatigue in a group study of 12 individuals. Analyses of operation dynamics and autonomous use demonstrate the applicability of Carry to a variety of use cases, presumably with increased benefits for increased assistance torque. The significant benefits of Carry indicate this device could prevent systemic, aerobic, and/or possibly local muscle fatigue that may increase the risk of joint degeneration and pain due to lifting, holding, or carrying.

Ergonomic Intervention

This literature review of exoskeleton design provides a brief history of exoskeleton development, discusses current research of exoskeletons with respect to the innate human-machine interface, and the incorporation of exoskeletons for ergonomic intervention, and offers a review of needed future work. Development of assistive exoskeletons began in the 1960's but older designs lacked design for human factors and ergonomics and had low power energy density and power to weight ratios. Advancements in technology have spurred a broad spectrum of research aimed at enhancing human performance and assisting in rehabilitation. The review underwent a holistic and extensive search and provides a reflective snapshot of the state of the art in exoskeleton design as it pertains to the incorporation of exoskeletons for ergonomic intervention. Some of the remaining challenges include improving the energy density of exoskeleton power supplies, improving the power to weight ratio of actuation devices, improving the mechanical human-machine interface, and dealing with variability between users.

(HCI) which is termed as Human Computer Interface is very essential in enhancing the performance and efficiency of robot control to complete the complex tasks. It is worthwhile to develop recognition methods by virtue of which a computer will be capable of controlling human's repeated actions effectively. Thus in aforementioned paper, we have generated a CG (Computer Graphic) model to characterize the motion response from the sensor. We propose to explore other manners of human-computer intercommunication like automation & navigation. The primary idea for this paper is to analyze how to improve HCI systems thereby bettering human machine work criterion. The results indicate that the human robot interface based on motion recognition can push comparable needs to different users adequately, which provides a new approach for the association between robots and human.
