A Collaborative Assembly Task to Assess Worker Skills in Robot Manufacturing Environments

摘要

In recent years robots have been replacing human workers in many industries. As robot manufacturing becomes more optimized and cost effective, the use of robots is going to evolve in various fields. Thus, it is essential to prepare workers to operate robots and work collaboratively with them side by side. In this paper, we are proposing a human-robot collaborative task to assess human performance in experimental, industrial setup. The task is designed in both virtual and physical environments.
