Abstract:
With the increase in customized production scenarios with small batch sizes research on human-robot working cells gains significance. We present a Smart Workbench that allows for adaptive user assistance in industrial human-robot use cases through (1) monitoring the user condition and (2) providing multi-modal information about the process and the robot intention. We further show results from a first study regarding the usefulness of biofeedback for workload estimation.
