Description
Summary:In this study, we are verifying the use of the developed cooperative robot to safely perform lifting tasks with humans. Currently, robots are expected to be utilized to address the challenges posed by labor shortage and in improving productivity. However, the functions of robots are overwhelmingly limited compared to those of workers, and they are restricted to applications where their strengths can be utilized. Therefore, this study focuses on lifting work by two workers and attempts to develop a system to perform lifting work with one worker and one robot. One of the challenges of this work is how to reflect the unconscious actions of humans in the cooperative robot. Therefore, by deducing the velocity displacement of lifting motions performed by humans and reflecting them in the robot, we confirmed the contribution to smooth lifting operations by humans and cooperative robots.
