Classification des Systèmes Cobotiques

Abstract

The classification of cobotic systems is hard as there exist numerous criteria to describe human robot collaboration. After state of the art and definition of the main terms, we propose to study the flow of information among the cobot, in its broadest sense, the human, the environment and the interface in order to characterize the different types of collaboration. The description with a scheme of interaction seems particularly appropriate. Ten examples are considered and discussed. Several schemes present discriminant features that allow the qualification and naming of the cobotic systems. It is thus possible to identify the symbiotic system, with a constant information exchange and an efficient work sharing, the augmented human, the sous-traitance, the assistance to effort and the intelligent assistance.
