ABSTRACT How to design Human–Industrial Robot Collaborative (HIRC) workstations is one of the key challenges in the realisation of safe and efficient HIRC systems in industry. The aim of this paper is to present a simple method to be used in early phases of HIRC workstation design. The design method requires a simulation tool and is based on systematic design methodologies and its reference work, Pahl and Beitz´s engineering design framework. The proposed HIRC design method consists of four phases: planning and clarifying the work task, conceptual design, embodiment design and detail design, where iteration loops back to previous phases are vital. This design method is applied in an industrial HIRC design case on assembly of a flywheel cover on a heavy vehicle engine block. In this application example, a previously developed HIRC simulation software is used to generate quantitative values on identified evaluation criteria, in this case operation time and biomechanical load. This proposed HIRC design method in combination with any type of simulation tool enables the systematic design of HIRC workstations early in the production development process.

工业应用的人工机器人协同工作站设计方法

摘要 如何设计人-工业机器人协作（HIRC）工作站是在工业中实现安全高效的 HIRC 系统的关键挑战之一。本文的目的是提出一种用于 HIRC 工作站设计早期阶段的简单方法。该设计方法需要一个模拟工具，并且基于系统设计方法及其参考工作、Pahl 和 Beitz 的工程设计框架。提议的 HIRC 设计方法由四个阶段组成：规划和明确工作任务、概念设计、实施例设计和详细设计，其中迭代循环回之前的阶段至关重要。该设计方法应用于在重型车辆发动机缸体上组装飞轮罩的工业 HIRC 设计案例。在这个应用示例中，先前开发的 HIRC 模拟软件用于根据已确定的评估标准生成定量值，在这种情况下是操作时间和生物力学负荷。这种提议的 HIRC 设计方法与任何类型的仿真工具相结合，可以在生产开发过程的早期系统地设计 HIRC 工作站。
