Abstract

The increasing variety in product range demand high flexibility of the production technologies and assembly systems of producing companies. Integrating the human into the assembly process by establishing collaboration between the human and robotized assembly systems seems to be a promising approach to achieve this flexibility even for very small lot sizes. This paper presents a model for assessing the ergonomic risk in such collaboration scenarios. Criteria for assigning assembly steps to the human or the robot are introduced as well as for describing the physical and cognitive ergonomic risk of an individual assembly step. The presented risk model is finally applied to the process of assembly sequence planning, in order to find the optimal assembly sequence in situations of human-robot collaboration.
