现代制造系统仍在发展。系统元素、布局和集成方法不断变化，“协作机器人”（CoBots）现在被认为是实用的工业解决方案。与传统的协作机器人不同，协作机器人足够安全和灵活，可以与人类一起工作。尽管协作机器人有可能成为生产系统的标准，但系统设计和开发并没有坚实的基础。本研究的重点是提供一个基础和四层框架，以促进设计，开发和集成的协作机器人。该框架由系统级、工作单元级、机器级和工人级组成。65%的传统机器人安装在汽车工业中，需要200个小时来编程（和重新编程）它们。集成协作机器人有可能增强系统中机器人和人类参与者的能力，提高流程效率并适应变化。将对文献、安全和布局挑战以及使用已推向市场的解决方案的当代工厂自动化配置进行全面审查，并提出教育和研究挑战的路线图。
Contemporary manufacturing systems are still evolving. The system elements, layouts, and integration methods are changing continuously, and 'collaborative robots' (CoBots) are now being considered as practical industrial solutions. CoBots, unlike traditional CoBots, are safe and flexible enough to work with humans. Although CoBots have the potential to become standard in production systems, there is no strong foundation for systems design and development. The focus of this research is to provide a foundation and four tier framework to facilitate the design, development and integration of CoBots. The framework consists of the system level, work-cell level, machine level, and worker level. Sixty-five percent of traditional robots are installed in the automobile industry and it takes 200 hours to program (and reprogram) them. Integrating CoBots has the potential to enhance the abilities of both the robotic and human actors within the system, improving process efficiencies, and adapting to changes. A thorough review of the literature, safety and layout challenges, and contemporary factory automation configurations using solutions that have been introduced to the market will be presented, as well as a roadmap for education and research challenges.
