    In September 2006 an integrated European project (IP) was launched entitled "Flexible Assembly Systems through Workplace-Sharing and Time-Sharing Human-Machine Cooperation (PISA)". The general aim of the project is to develop intelligent assist systems (IAS) in order to support the human worker instead of replace him. The idea is to combine human flexibility, intelligence and skills with the advantages of sophisticated technical systems. Further developments within the project are focused on reconfigurability and reusability of assembly equipment, and required planning tools for end-users. The paper presents the initial project objectives, and the resulting prototype systems developed by the partners of the PISA consortium.

    The project partners ESTEC, Tecnospazio and IPK realized an A and R technology testbed (IARTTB) which is now implemented at ESTEC, Noordwijk. In this paper the off-line programming components for the robot and the task execution simulation system are presented. The basic development for these systems are made by the IPK under support of the ESPRIT 623 project. Results of this project have been used in a range of industrial applications including automative, shipbuilding, off-shore and space industries. In this paper the adaption of the off-line programming and simulation system to the requirements of the IARTTB is described in more detail starting with the basic.

    The paper reports on the ESPRIT project CIM-PLATO (2202). In the course of this project tools are in development to support the design, planning and installation of manufacturing systems. To increase the utility and efficiency of these tools, they are integrated in toolboxes. As a first step towards the integration, demonstrator systems will be realized and publicy presented.

    The paper reports on a project with the objective to inspect seam welds on underwater structures (e.g. oil platforms). A robot is mounted to a submersible vehicle which also carries the required equipment and tools for cleaning, measuring and inspection. The robot's tasks as well as the path of the submersible vehicle are preprogrammed using an off-line programming and simulation system developed at the IPK. In the first phase of the project, the overall concept was simulated by computer. Additionally, a laboratory model was constructed using a Manutec R 15 industrial robot and a tube intersection of a research platform in order to test the system. In further project phases, real underwater experiments are planned. Design work has begun concerning a waterproof robot and a mechanical interface between submersible vehicle and robot. This includes additional translational and rotational axes for robot positioning. The execution of robot tasks and the transport of the robot by the submersi ble vehicle to the underwater docking position have to be executed autonomously. For autonomous transport, a navigation system is required. Therefore, a feasibility study concerning analytical principles and performance evaluation was conducted in combination with a market survey of available components. Some of the study results are briefly presented in the paper.

    The overall objective of the CIM-PLATO Project is to develop an industrial Toolbox prototype of computer based procedures and tools to design, plan and install FMS and FAS systems in the freme of a CIM environment. To reach this goal, three closely interrelated fields of R and D can be stated. These are the manufacturing system planning, the manufacturing process planning and the provision of all necessary information to fulfill theses tasks as well as the integration into factory information system. Beside this general informatiomn about the application areas of toolbox and the adopted approaches for their realization two areas of tools will be presented in detail: technological process planning and process execution simulation and test.
