Benefits of human-robot collaboration
Robots have their strength in the repetition of simple handling tasks.
Humans, on the other hand, have unique cognitive skills, such as understanding the task.
The combination of human and robot can greatly rationalize tasks, as long as the work is optimally divided
between them.
Human-robot collaboration then enables variable automation. Tasks for which complete automation is too
expensive or too complex can thus be partially rationalized.
Non-ergonomic workstations are replaced by robots.

Classification “Clusters” of applications with a LBR iiwa
The LBR iiwa was specifically developed and designed to be able to touch a
human hazard-free
Smooth and large-scaled surface structures, no clamping points
Robot position within working environment will be monitored in safe technology
In case of crushing or clamping hazard, robot is
able to measure and limit forces as well as to
switch to a stiffness mode
If robot moves within the remaining area, the
speed limited so that no injuries are caused in
case there is a dynamic contact
The KUKA Light Weight Robot LBR iiwa is equipped with all basic
requirements to be used as a safe assistant in collaboration with a human
being!

LBR iiwa as production assistant
Today
Assembly: worker
Logistic: worker
Tomorrow
Assembly: Robot
Logistic: Worker
The worker uses the robots for different tasks at various places within a factory.
The cognitive and physical skills of a human being will be combined with the repeatability, precision and
resilience of the robot.

Summary
The industrial production of the future demands for concepts beyond the full automation. Human-Robot-
Collaboration is a module for new and versatile production concepts
For a “substantial collaboration” the topics of safety and operator interaction need to be further developed in an “industry suitable way”.
The KUKA group is the only supplier world-wide taking care of these challenges in a holistic approach
Our vision: A human being will treat a robot in the same way that he would treat a human colleague.
