Abstract

Cobots have come to be used in many manufacturing fields. On the other hand, there are many issues of risk countermeasures due to being caught in work-pieces and jigs, and research and development as a means of ensuring more practical safety and security and helping each other in the future are desired. In this report, we will provide topics on examples of collaborative use of automobile manufacturing sites and evaluate the physical burden on people using cyber-physical systems. We will discuss future issues and prospects for people-centered collaboration and collaboration and proposed “RICH” Real-time Inter Collaborated Harmonization concept.
