Design working place with cooperating human and robot

The course aims to present a procedure for the design of the shared task between a human operator and a collaborative robot in a shared industrial workstation.

The course provides a methodological basis for the development of shared workstations, in which a human operator and a collaborative robot cooperate to achieve a work objective, such as an assembly of mechanical components to build a complex whole. One of the examples covers a real industrial use case.

The course is divided into the following 5 sections:

• Description of characteristics of collaborative robots.
• Mixed working place in industrial applications.
• Guidelines for designing collaborative robotic cells.
• IPS Human-Robot Collaboration: Digital simulation and robot programming
• Ergonomic assessment in IPS IMMA (industrial use case).
• Some short quizzes allow the user to test his/her understanding of the different topics covered by the course.
