Abstract

The human-robot collaboration unites positive skills of humans (flexibility, intuition, creativity) and robots (strength, stamina, velocity, precision) in order to ensure a high level of resource efficiency and productivity also with smaller batch sizes and a high variety of versions in production. However, the design of a collaborative assembly system is a complex engineering challenge due to the different goal criteria that have to be considered. A simulation tool for designing and securing human-robot collaboration is yet missing which prevents the widespread use of such technologies. This paper proposes a concept of a simulation tool for collaborative workplaces. In the future, this will ensure that also companies with little experience and limited resources are empowered to implement human-robot collaboration systems prosperously.
