Interactive Process Automation refers to the idea of supporting the interaction of humans in processes through physical objects. This is particularly promising for human/cobot collaboration tasks where the communication is fuzzy. A typical example is a picking and placing scenario. Here, a “picking area” can serve as a user interface, i.e., objects are freely placed in a defined area, and then identified and transferred to specific positions, where deterministic processes can use them. If, for example, object A is placed at position posA by the human, automatically, the robot is instructed to pick A and place it at position posB on a tray. Realizing Interactive Process Automation for picking and placing tasks in manufacturing processes requires (i) a lightweight and flexible object detection approach and (ii) a human–machine interface design for Interactive Process Automation. This work proposes (i) an object detection approach that works solely based on synthetic training data. The object detection is embedded into (ii) generic process models that are implemented based on an existing manufacturing orchestration framework and a camera-equipped cobot. The approach is prototypically implemented and evaluated based on several experiments including a pick and place cobot station.

在制造过程中基于轻量级对象检测的交互式过程自动化

交互式过程自动化是指通过物理对象支持人类在过程中的交互的想法。这对于通信模糊的人/机器人协作任务特别有前途。一个典型的例子是取放场景。在这里,“拾取区域”可以用作用户界面,即,将对象自由放置在定义的区域中,然后将其识别并转移到确定的过程可以使用它们的特定位置。例如,如果人将对象A自动放置在位置pos A上,则指示机器人拾取A并将其放置在位置pos B上在托盘上。实现用于在制造过程中拾取和放置任务的交互式过程自动化需要(i)轻巧灵活的对象检测方法,以及(ii)用于交互式过程自动化的人机界面设计。这项工作提出(i)一种仅基于合成训练数据的对象检测方法。对象检测被嵌入到(ii)基于现有制造流程框架和配备摄像头的协作机器人实现的通用过程模型中。该方法是基于几个实验的原型实现和评估的,包括拾取和放置机器人站。
