HUMAN-AUTOMATION COLLABORATION IN MANUFACTURING:IDENTIFYING KEY IMPLEMENTATION FACTORS

摘要

Human-automation collaboration has commanded significant attention in manufacturing because of the potential applications, such as the installation of large sub-assemblies. However, the key human factors relevant to human-automation collaboration have not yet been fully investigated. To maximise effective implementation and reduce development costs for future projects these factors need to be examined. In this paper, a collection of human factors likely to influence human-automation collaboration is identified from current literature and proposed future work to test validity and explore further factors associated with implementation success is presented.
