Nowadays the concept of Industry 4.0. and the relating intelligent manufacturing system are getting more and more current and well-known. In the past years the outstanding development of different areas such as information technology computer science, machining, robotics and so on, made possible a comprehensive transformation of the manufacturing systems. Present paper aims to give a general overview...
This paper investigates intuitiveness in human robot interactions with focus on remote operation and assistance. The increasing number of robot applications in small volume production requires new techniques to ease the use of these sophisticated systems. A vibrotactile device was used for experiments. Vibration patterns are developed to represent a cognitive information channel for the remote operator...
Application of automation in SMEs working in fish industry is not in advanced state as in other fields of production and manufacturing industries. Due to expensive equipment, high labor costs of engineers required to implement such features into production lines, and low-quantity contracts, introduction of automation technologies is in large part of these companies is absent. This paper analyses introduction...
The increased production of more and more complex products challenges the accuracy of manual welding, and increase the time it takes to program automatic welding systems. The main objective for the article is to explore if current regulations and standards are able to accommodate the shift from automatic welding to autonomous welding systems. To do this, the most current and applicable standards have...
The preprocessing part of an iron ore mining production line is being modelled, together with description of the algorithms for its optimization with respect to criteria and constraints corresponding to the relevant industrial standards. We use as a case study the production line of the international high-tech mining and processing company LKAB stationed in northern Sweden. The modelling is generic,...

TARGET is a collaborative project involving a partnership of universities and institutes of higher education in UK, Ireland, Norway, Finland and Sweden. The project will develop tools to enhance capacity in regional manufacturing companies to adapt and embrace new technologies and innovation. This is to be done in collaboration with small/medium sized manufacturing engineering companies - developing,...
Telemanipulation (master-slave operation) was developed in order to replace human being in hazardous environment, with using a slave device (e.g. robot). In this paper many kind of master devices are studied, for the precise control. Remote control needs much information about remote environment for good and safe human-machine interaction. Existing master devices with vision system or audio feedback...
In order to achieve high-level of competitiveness in today's ever changing market, manufacturers have to maintain high-level of responsiveness to customers' preference. Due to this reason, the appropriate implication of flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is of great significance in determining the success of a company. FMS enables rapid production of various types of products with small scale so...
This paper comprises the structural analysis information about the different mechanical structures of boom. Up till now the cargo containers are cleaned by humans (manually) which has a great disadvantage because human interaction with the container from inside can be a major cause of spreading germs or bacteria. So for cleaning the cargo containers automatically a robotic arm or boom is required...
This paper presents the analysis of automation hardware market, choosing and implementation of an optimal device to create remote supervision of workshops. An idea to create a remotely controllable workshop is not new, but the challenges with interaction scenarios between machines (CNC machines, industrial robots) and humans became more and more complex. Nowadays, industrial automation is mainly organized...
This paper introduces a concept of a completely automatic cargo containers cleaning system design. The cargo container cleaning system until now is implemented by human workers with manual cleaning equipment. However, such a system still has a disadvantage: worker's interaction with the container inside. This is prohibited by both World Health Organization and European Union [1]. The main goal of...
Robot controller user interface is one of the most technical challenging issues for robot manufacturers because of human presence as an actor in this interaction. Many developments made for having intuitive and easy interaction between user and robot controller while complexity of the robot systems is continuously increasing.
In order to utilize the full potential of industrial robots its human operators need to gain a deep technical understanding of rather complex mechatronic devices. However, such knowledge does not come easily, its building blocks is university level mathematics, physics, mechanical and electrical engineering, control theory and computer science.
