Integrating ergonomics and lean manufacturing principles in a hybrid assembly line
TL;DR: This model helps managers and practitioners to design hybrid assembly lines with both manual workers and automated assembly machines and shows that worker ergonomics is a key parameter of the assembly process design, as well as other lean manufacturing parameters, e.g. takt time, cycle time and work in progress.

Remote human–robot collaboration: A cyber–physical system application for hazard manufacturing environment
Hongyi Liu,Lihui Wang +1 more
TL;DR: A remote human–robot collaboration system that follows the concept of cyber–physical systems is introduced that can flexibly work in four different modes according to different scenarios and indicates a great potential to adopt the developed system in hazard manufacturing environment.

A conceptual framework to evaluate human-robot collaboration
TL;DR: Highlights the different latent dimensions that characterize the HRC problem are highlighted and a conceptual framework to evaluate and compare different HRC configuration profiles is constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depth camera based collision avoidance via active robot control
TL;DR: Results show that this approach can be applied to real-time work cell monitoring of a human–robot collaborative assembly cell and is further demonstrated in adaptive robot control.

Stable haptic interaction with virtual environments
Richard Adams,Blake Hannaford +1 more
TL;DR: By decoupling the haptic display control problem from the design of virtual environments, the use of a virtual coupling network frees the developer of haptic-enabled virtual reality models from issues of mechanical stability.

Towards a 3g crawling robot through the integration of microrobot technologies
TL;DR: This paper discusses the biomimetic design and assembly of a 3g self-contained crawling robot fabricated through the integrated use of various microrobot technologies and presents results of both the kinematic and static analyses of the driving mechanism that essentially consists of three slider cranks in series.

Fast and "soft-arm" tactics [robot arm design]
Antonio Bicchi,G. Tonietti +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the problem of designing joint-actuation mechanisms that can allow fast and accurate operation of a robot arm, while guaranteeing a suitably limited level of injury risk.
