Human/Robot Multi-initiative Setups for Assembly Cells
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 7th International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS '11), pp. 1 - 6, May, 2011
Abstract
New products and small batch production entail a disproportionate amount of time is spent setting up automated assembly tasks. We have designed and implemented an automation tool to radically reduce this time. The setup for assembly automation involves: assembly planning, fixture-tool selection and positioning as well as part loading. This automation tool provides the robot with the ability to provide a human operator with precise and convenient instructions to follow through augmented reality, while at the same time allowing the robot to read information supplied by the human operator's actions. In this way, a complex setup task can be collaboratively executed, while allowing both the robot and the human to do what each does best.
