“…As the industrial robot was established on the industry floor was it considered to be a flexible resource due to their multiple possible uses together with easy re-programming. But even if the traditional robots are enhanced by the newly developed advanced sensors, they still cannot match the flexibility and intelligent decision-making of humans (Chen et al 2011;Savoy and McLeod 2013). The cost of using these advanced sensors is also too high for most industrial applications (Pini, Leali, and Ansaloni 2015).…”

How to design Human-Industrial Robot Collaborative (HIRC) workstations is one of the key challenges in the realisation of safe and efficient HIRC systems in industry. The aim of this paper is to present a simple method to be used in early phases of HIRC workstation design. The design method requires a simulation tool and is based on systematic design methodologies and its reference work, Pahl and Beitz´s engineering design framework. The proposed HIRC design method consists of four phases: planning and clarifying the work task, conceptual design, embodiment design and detail design, where iteration loops back to previous phases are vital. This design method is applied in an industrial HIRC design case on assembly of a flywheel cover on a heavy vehicle engine block. In this application example, a previously developed HIRC simulation software is used to generate quantitative values on identified evaluation criteria, in this case operation time and biomechanical load. This proposed HIRC design method in combination with any type of simulation tool enables the systematic design of HIRC workstations early in the production development process.
