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.enISWassemblycooperationhuman - robotman-machine systemMensch-Roboter-Kooperationman-robot-cooperationautomatische MontageFertigungsanlageMensch Maschine Systemcooperative assemblyrobot629658670621journal article
