Highly intuitive interfaces for safe human-robot cooperation.In this direction ROBO-PARTNER will work towards achieving the following objectives: The synergy effect of the robot’s precision, repeatability and strength with the human’s intelligence and flexibility will be much greater especially for the case of small scale production where reconfigurability and adaptability are of great importance. ![]() Rather than using a brute force approach to automate the relevant assembly processes, ROBO-PARTNER promotes a hybrid solution involving the safe cooperation of human operators with autonomous and self-learning/adapting robotic systems through a user-friendly interaction. Nevertheless, the automation of operations in manual assembly stations and lines is highly demanded so that quality levels are increased mainly in terms of precision and repeatability, throughput time is decreased in assembly stations, traceability of the performed operations is allowed and in the meanwhile the ergonomic workload for the operators is reduced. ![]() There are numerous industrial applications where the assembly process is mainly performed by human operators due to the fact that: a) operations require a human like sensitivity, b) handled materials are different and often show a compliant, unpredictable behaviour (upholstery, rubber, fabric etc.) c) often more than one operators are active in each station to perform cooperative or parallel operations. Executive Summary: Today’s European industry faces the challenge to achieve flexibility and efficiency in order to improve its competitive position in the world market.
