Abstract. The contribution is focused on the creation of an idea proposal and simulation of the assembly system in cooperation of the human and the industrial robot. The aim of the research is to verify the feasibility of this cooperation between the human and the industrial robot on the basis of the created simulation in the assembly process. The important step of the design this collaboration is the determination of rules and safety of this cooperation. The paper also presents the method of working with the selected software and its functionalities and sequence of steps at the simulation creation. The objective of the research is the evaluation of the idea proposal of the collaborative assembly system on the basis of the created simulation. The analysis and evaluation of the simulation confirm the feasibility and safety of the cooperation of the man and robot and also verified the possibility of assembly made by man and robot from the disposition and dimension on point of view of the proposed workplace.

Abstract. Nowadays the trends in manufacturing are aimed at exploding and using the full potential of production devices and systems. In this context, Simulation and VR tools play a key role in the evolution of such systems specially if used in conjunction. By using these tools, the present paper focused on the analyses of an iCIM 3000 system. The main goal of the paper lied on studying the possibilities of increasing the efficiency and effectivity of whole system and its individual devices. This was achieved by means of the creation of simulations and their comparison to the real system. At the same time, the results of the simulations themselves also became the basis for further and richer analyses by means of the use of VR tools that allowed a much deeper and detailed take of the whole system. The use of VR tools offered a better assessment and comprehension of the system under study what at the same time also worked as a feedback for the improvement of the initial simulations, and this by eliminating and/or improving unnecessary movements and collisions. The results of this study have a positive significance in the improvement of the system once these are implemented.

Industry 4.0 is one of the key words and strategies in current industrial production. It is important to define the Industry 4.0 strategy, analyse its objectives, and characterize the key elements and technologies of Industry 4.0. The Industry 4.0 concept uses the Industry 4.0 reference architecture, which assists and guides automated system developers in their design and construction, and of course in the development of a new assembly product. Given that the existing assembly system for education - Festo Didactic MPS 203 I4.0 is used to explore the possibilities of using digitization in design, it will be necessary to analyse this system in terms of reference architecture and key elements of Industry 4.0 implemented. The result is in conclusion of how deeply the key elements of Industry 4.0 are implemented in this educational system. The aim of this result was to create a digital twin of the system and test it in a virtual environment after the verification and validation of the digital twin model.

Using the voice control to interact with things around us can always be one of the most interesting things. Voice control is becoming more and more used in everyday life, whether it is a smart home, voice control of a mobile phone or voice control of comfort equipment in a car. Whether, voice control gets into the production industry line is the right question. Reliability is still insufficient. The paper is focused on analysis of voice control of a collaborative robot. Analysis is focused on various voice commands, their repeatability and reliability in robot-human cooperation. The research determines the most problematic voice commands and ideal voice commands for voice control of a collaborative robot.
