The presented article deals with analyses and testing appropriate parameters for the production of components manufactured with rapid prototyping technology -Easy3DMaker printer. The quality of the printed component with a specific shape is analyzed. The analyzed materials are ABS Printplus and PLA Printplus. These materials are printed at different temperatures and speeds. combinations of different settings were tested in order to find the best conditions for printing with different nozzles. The quality of individual printed samples is assessed visually and by touch. The efficiency in terms of print time under various conditions was also analyzed. The main benefit of testing is the establishment of appropriate conditions for printing components on a Easy3DMaker printer. The article does not focus on mechanical properties of the examined samples.

The paper deals with a present topic of utilisation of nonconventional sensors for solving the tasks of a human-robot collaboration within a shared workcell. The attention is primary focused on an exploring of possibilities of utilisation of low-cost Kinect sensors. The paper presents the methodical steps of solution of a sensor subsystem proposal within conditions of the laboratory robotised workcell, methods applied for the sensors intrinsic parameters calibration and their verification.

One of the main trends in industrial robotics is collaboration between human and robot. Collaboration is applied especially in the field of assembly tasks. The current automation technology is not at the level that could ensure demanding tasks. These tasks are often associated with actions requiring human skills. Many manufacturers of industrial robot offer a solution in a form of a collaborative robot. These robots represent new opportunities for industry. In order to further develop the area of collaborative robotics, it is necessary to look for new technologies. This article deals with design of method which is based on open source platform. The method is applied to solve a real assembly task.
