A dual-arm robot assembling system including a controlling unit, a GUI, a first robotic-arm, and a second robotic-arm is disclosed. The GUI provides a graphic program editing page, which provides multiple instruction blocks used for editing a graphical program executed by the assembling system. At least one of the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm is disposed with a point-teaching tool thereon. Before the controlling unit controls the two robotic arms to perform an assembling operation based on the graphical program, a manager may directly drag the two robotic arms through the point-teaching tool, so as to implement a point-teaching procedure for the two robotic arms. Therefore, the assembling system may accomplish the assembling operation through the two robotic arms with cooperative movement.

A human augmented robotics intelligence operation system can include a plurality of robots, each robot having a plurality of sensors; a robot control unit; and one or more articulating joints; a cloud-based robotic intelligence engine having; a communication module; a historical database; and a processor; and a human augmentation platform. The processor can be configured to make a probabilistic determination regarding the likelihood of successfully completing the particular user command. When the probabilistic determination is above a pre-determined threshold, the processor sends necessary executable commands to the robot control unit. Alternatively, when the probabilistic determination is below the predetermined threshold, the processor generates an alert and flags the operation for human review.
