Virtual Verification of Human-Robot Collaboration

The objective of the Virtual Verification of Human-Robot Collaboration project (Vinnova Dnr 2015-03719) is to perform research and development actions needed for the creation of a simulation tool that facilitates efficient and valid simulation of human-robot collaboration and where the consideration of human variation is supported.

The demonstrator human-robot collaboration simulation tool developed will be used by industry for verifying and balancing human-robot collaboration. The industry will be able, in early design phases, to generate work instructions to a worker and programming code to a robot in an optimal workplace where robots’ and humans’ advantages are combined and utilised in a successful way.
