- Limited production

+ High productivity - Less flexibility

- No reaction to volatile markets

Shared workspace, but

exclusive motion contact

possible, but only with

stationary robot

e.g. in the case of industrial

robot as handling assistant

Shared workspace

No fixed guard,

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.

IV. Summary






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.

Full automation

Prosesses sensitive assembly

The future of Human Robotics Colaboration and automation is. . . Limitless
