Human-robot Collaboration

Human-robot Collaboration

by webmaster.tuvglobal / Wednesday, 16 August 2017 / Published in News

TÜV AUSTRIA, Fraunhofer Austria and Joanneum Research are setting up an exemplary human-robot collaboration system at TU Vienna’s Pilot Factory Industry 4.0 (Pilotfabrik Industrie 4.0) in Aspern. The insights gained provide valuable incentives for future industrial production processes. It has become impossible to imagine the economy of the future without the cooperation of humans and robots. In contrast to earlier trends favoring unattended automation of production, today it is about optimum designs for production systems with combinations of humans and machines. In such HumanRobot-Collaboration (HRC), each participant plays a part with their own special abilities. Humans score with their methodology, intuition, flexibility, faculties and problem-solving orientation; while machines do so with high repetition accuracy, force and precision as well as with more documentation. Both together not only increase efficiency in production, but also ensure an additional boost in quality. TÜV AUSTRIA, Fraunhofer Austria and Joanneum Research contribute specific know-how regarding risk assessment in terms of machinery safety, IT security, production management and production logistics as well as metrological assessment of HRC systems. TU Vienna’s Industry 4.0 Pilot Factory (Industrie 4.0 Pilotfabrik) enables testing and research of new production concepts in a protected, low-risk environment. Safety plays an important role in the process. Christoph Schwald, corporate innovation manager of TÜV AUSTRIA: “Efficiency enhancement and quality improvement can only be successfully implemented in HRC applications if appropriate safety systems are allowed for. Safety must be taken into consideration comprehensively, meaning both functional safety and information security. In an Industry 4.0 context, IT security and machinery safety grow together entirely.”

More in it for the economy

The findings of the tests are transferred directly to industry and business. Fabian Ranz from Fraunhofer Austria: “In addition to the safety aspects, the biggest challenges are not only to ensure technical feasibility but also to guarantee the economic efficiency of the processes. Only then will we achieve a point at which industry will be ready to put the principles we are exploring here into practice.” Michael Hofbaur is setting up a robotics research center for Joanneum Research. The researcher introduces the expertise available there to the metrological assessment of HRC systems. “With our findings, we are providing additional added value for the Pilotfabrik in Aspern. Robotics requires specific knowledge, in assembling parts, for instance. We create safe and secure applications by means of appropriate configurations.”

Production of the future

Robotics has made great progress in recent years and is constantly evolving. The experts at TÜV AUSTRIA, Fraunhofer and Joanneum Research emphasize that science and technology partners therefore need to develop solutions for how to deal with safety and security concerns as well as risk issues.
