Manufacturing Process and Optimization

In recent years, interest has grown in environments where humans and robots collaborate, complementing the strengths and advantages of humans and machines. Design, construction and adjustment of such environments, as well as the training of operating personnel, requires thorough understanding of the nature of human–robot collaboration which previous automation expertise does not necessarily provide. The learning factory currently being constructed by MTA SZTAKI in Győr aims to provide hands-on experience in the design and operation of facilities supporting human–robot collaboration, mainly in assembly tasks. The work-in-progress paper presents design principles, functionalities and structure of the facility, and outlines deployment plans in education, training, research and development in the academic and industrial sectors.
