    Intuitive Roboterprogrammierung per Fingerzeig
    Automatisierte Produktionsabläufe werden zunehmend wichtiger. Dennoch ist der Mensch nach wie vor ein unerlässlicher Faktor, da die künstliche Intelligenz von Robotern noch nicht ausreicht. Das Fraunhofer IPK hat nun ein System entwickelt, das eine gestenbasierte, intuitive Programmierung von Robotern für Schweißanwendungen mit hoher Präzision ermöglicht.

    Flexibility and changeability of assembly processes require a close cooperation between the worker and the automated assembly system. The interaction between human and robots improves the efficiency of individual complex assembly processes, particularly when a robot serves as an intelligent assistant. The paper gives a survey about forms of human-machine cooperation in assembly and available technologies that support the cooperation. Organizational and economic aspects of cooperative assembly including efficient component supply and logistics are also discussed.

    This paper presents a novel Cobotic system with differential CVT. The new system is significantly cheaper, simpler to control and more efficient than Cobots with S-CVTs. Both path-guidance and power-assist functions can be simply realized with the new system. Basic structures, kinematic and dynamic models, as well as control algorithms, which are essential for design, control synthesis and control of the system, are briefly presented in the paper.
