Integration of the human-robot system in the learning factory assembly process

摘要

Human-robot collaboration (HRC) within the manufacturing processes has become a growing need across the manufacturing industries. This paper explores one such opportunity within the developed assembly line of the small vehicle for children called karet. The time necessary to do the assembly tasks is analysed to further optimize the assembly process. The aim is to create the human-robot collaboration system for assembly of the drive module and the base plate of the product. When selecting assembly operations, especially with a robotic arm, attention is paid to the limitations of the system and the challenges posed by existing operating conditions. By setting up three variants of operations, waiting times, parallel activities and functional delays are analysed. It is concluded that the third variant of the assembly process gives the shortest duration.
