Systems and methods automatic anomaly detection in mixed human-robot manufacturing processes
A system for detecting an anomaly in an execution of a task in mixed human-robot processes. Receiving human worker (HW) signals and robot signals. A processor to extract from the HW signals, task information, measurements relating to a state of the HW, and input into a Human Performance (HP) model, to obtain a state of the HW based on previously learned boundaries of the state of the HW, the state of the HW is then inputted into a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) model, to determine a classification of an anomaly or no anomaly. Update HRI model with robot operation signals, HW signals and classified anomaly, determine a control action of a robot interacting with the HW or a type of an anomaly alarm using the updated HRI model and classified anomaly. Output the control action of the robot to change a robot action or output the type of the anomaly alarm.
Systems and methods for advance anomaly detection in a discrete manufacturing process with a task performed by a human-robot team
A system for detection of an anomaly in a discrete manufacturing process (DMP) with human-robot teams executing a task. Receive signals including robot, worker and DMP signals. Predict a sequence of events (SOEs) from DMP signals. Determine whether the predicted SOEs in the DMP signals is inconsistent with a behavior of operation of the DMP described in a DMP model, and if the predicted SOEs from DMP signals is inconsistent with the behavior, then an alarm is to be signaled. Input worker data into a Human Performance (HP) model, to obtain a state of the worker based on previously learned boundaries of human state. The state of the HW is then input into the HRI model and the DMP model to determine a classification of anomaly or no anomaly. Update a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) model to obtain a control action of a robot or a type of an anomaly alarm.

Workpiece supply system
A workpiece supply system includes a robot that supplies a workpiece to each of a plurality of workspaces where a worker performs a predetermined task on the workpiece; a detection unit that detects a degree of fatigue of the worker in each of the workspaces; a fatigue degree evaluation unit that determines whether or not the worker is in a fatigued state, based on the degree of fatigue of the worker detected by the detection unit; and a management device that adjusts, among a plurality of workers, a pace of supply of the workpiece to each of the workers, in a case where the worker is determined by the fatigue degree evaluation unit to be in the fatigued state.
