“…In particular, cobots are more accurate and less error-prone than industrial robots, but their movements are slower due to the HRI safety requirements, and their working space is smaller. Collaborative robots can be programmed easier and faster, but have a less carrying capacity [5]. There is also a number of other specific differences between cobots and industrial robots.…”

The robotization of industries and daily life activities had long been transformed from innovation and curiosity to reality. The use of collaborative robots (cobots) has now become widespread, capable of safely working together with a human in a single working space and increasing the efficiency of work in professions that are cannot be automated easily so far. The researchers and economists are making optimistic projections of increasing the rate of adoption of robots and cobots both in industries and in everyday human activities. However, there are difficulties and problems on the way to mass robotization, and construction of the socio-cyber-physical environment, including fear and distrust of robots, differences in the attitude towards robots in different countries and social groups, incomprehension of the relevance of robotization, etc. In addition, there are wellknown problems, that are still under discussion and have no ready solutions. In this article we consider the current state of affairs in the sphere of deployment of cobots in the world and Russia, consider optimistic forecasts of the process of robotization, but also form a list of known and potential problems and negative factors, that could potentially hamper the implementation of plans for mass robotization and cobotization of industries and society, and provide our common vision of the solution of these problems.

“…However, improved quality of life and increased levels of occupational safety are the basis for the massive introduction of flexible automation in current production processes. In the case of repetitive, monotonous and dangerous tasks, the implementation of robotic systems makes it possible to increase the quality and precision of work [25] as well as reduce production costs and the relationship between humans and robots that defines the morphology of increasingly flexible, sustainable, ergonomic, intelligent and smart factories [26]. Sensors, machines, workers and IT systems connected to each other along the value chain, give rise to countless technical and economic benefits for future manufacturing through the use of different technologies that fit into the different industrial phases, starting from product/process design, monitoring and control, production operations, services.…”

Human–Robot Interaction for Improving Fuselage Assembly Tasks: A Case Study

In current industrial systems, automation is a very important aspect for assessing manufacturing production performance related to working times, accuracy of operations and quality. In particular, the introduction of a robotic system in the working area should guarantee some improvements, such as risks reduction for human operators, better quality results and a speed increase for production processes. In this context, human action remains still necessary to carry out part of the subtasks, as in the case of composites assembly processes. This study aims at presenting a case study regarding the reorganization of the working activity carried out in workstation in which a composite fuselage panel is assembled in order to demonstrate, by means of simulation tool, that some of the advantages previously listed can be achieved also in aerospace industry. In particular, an entire working process for composite fuselage panel assembling will be simulated and analyzed in order to demonstrate and verify the applicability and effectiveness of human–robot interaction (HRI), focusing on working times and ergonomics and respecting the constraints imposed by standards ISO 10218 and ISO TS 15066. Results show the effectiveness of HRI both in terms of assembly performance, by reducing working times and ergonomics—for which the simulation provides a very low risk index.

“…Collaborative robots are undoubtedly one of the strongest emblems of Industry 4.0, and play a major role in making production lines more agile. However, they are not the only solution for implementing collaborative robotic systems, and they are often not even the most appropriate ones to adopt [26].…”

For remaining competitive in the current industrial manufacturing markets, coating companies need to implement flexible production systems for dealing with mass customization and mass production workflows. The introduction of robotic manipulators capable of mimicking with accuracy the motions executed by highly skilled technicians is an important factor in enabling coating companies to cope with high customization. However, there are some limitations associated with the usage of a fully automated system for coating applications, especially when considering customized products of large dimensions and complex geometry. This paper addresses the development of a collaborative coating cell to increase the flexibility and efficiency of coating processes. The robot trajectory is taught with an intuitive programming by demonstration system, in which an icosahedron marker with multicoloured LEDs is attached to the coating tool for tracking its trajectories using a stereoscopic vision system. For avoiding the construction of fixtures and allowing the operator to freely place products within the coating work cell, a modular 3D perception system was developed, relying on principal component analysis for performing the initial point cloud alignment and on the iterative closest point algorithm for 6 DoF pose estimation. Furthermore, to enable safe and intuitive human-robot collaboration, a non-intrusive zone monitoring safety system was employed to track the position of the operator in the cell.
