Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes the recent progress in human-robot collaborative (HRC) technologies that enhance assembly and welding processes. It focuses on how the HRC approach helps improve assembly and welding productivity and quality, while enabling complex process operations that cannot be accomplished by humans or robots/machines alone. It also discusses the basic elements in HRC approaches, including (1) human sensors, (2) signal processing for extraction of human intent from sensors, (3) presentation of information to the human for their reaction, obtained from environmental sensors that monitor the environment, machines, and processes, and (4) interface control, which manages how information is presented to the human, what reactions are expected from the human, and what needs to be presented next. Finally, it summarizes the state-of-the-art in the major elements and application accomplishments, identifies challenges for greater benefits, and proposes directions to address these challenges.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Manufacturing Processes (JMP) is to exchange current and future directions of manufacturing processes research, development and implementation, and to publish archival scholarly literature with a view to advancing state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and encouraging innovation for developing new and efficient processes. The journal will also publish from other research communities for rapid communication of innovative new concepts. Special-topic issues on emerging technologies and invited papers will also be published.
