AI4Assembly A Human-Robot Collaboration Assembly Application with AI Support

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can help to greatly improve the usability and performance of an application. Over the last few years, many approaches have been presented on how AI technologies can improve individual steps in an assembly application that uses human-robot collaboration. This paper presents a concept for an AI supported human-robot collaboration for an assembly application, in which the AI components extend and improve the assembly application in all areas and not just individual steps. This includes the setup of a new assembly sequence as well as the subsequent execution of the assembly. The implemented concept is also compared against the same application with a lower degree of automation.
