Status Recognition Using Pre-Trained YOLOv5 for Sustainable Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) System in Mold Assembly

Molds are still assembled manually because of frequent demand changes and the requirement for comprehensive knowledge related to their high flexibility and adaptability in operation. We propose the application of human-robot collaboration (HRC) systems to improve manual mold assembly. In the existin...
