Robust assembly sequence generation in a Human-Robot Collaborative workcell by reinforcement learning

Human-Robot Collaborative (HRC) workcells could enhance the inclusive employment of human workers regardless their force or skills. Collaborative robots not only substitute humans in dangerous and heavy tasks, but also make the related processes within the reach of all workers, overcoming lack of sk...

description Human-Robot Collaborative (HRC) workcells could enhance the inclusive employment of human workers regardless their force or skills. Collaborative robots not only substitute humans in dangerous and heavy tasks, but also make the related processes within the reach of all workers, overcoming lack of skills and physical limitations. To enable the full exploitation of collaborative robots traditional robot programming must be overcome. Reduction of robot programming time and worker cognitive effort during the job become compelling requirements to be satisfied. Reinforcement learning (RL) plays a core role to allow robot to adapt to a changing and unstructured environment and to human undependable execution of repetitive tasks. The paper focuses on the utilization of RL to allow a robust industrial assembly process in a HRC workcell. The result of the study is a method for the online generation of robot assembly task sequence that adapts to the unpredictable and inconstant behavior of the human co-workers.
