Human-robot collaboration for tooling path guidance

Abstract

Human robot collaboration (HRC) is a hot research topic nowadays and achieves great success and development from the laboratory to the daily life service and industrial applications. This paper briefly introduces the background of HRC and its application in industries as well as technical characteristics. Finally, an intelligent industrial work assistant (iiwa) robot is setup as a HRC experiment platform to perform collaborative tasks. The demo gives an outlook that human and robot working alongside is viable and successful.
