A Methodology for Allocating Functions to People and Machines in Manufacturing Systems

这项工作将调查一种方法的可行性，根据要执行的任务的要求和每个系统的能力，将功能分配给制造系统中的人和/或机器。该方法将涉及任务特征的分类法和用于执行这些任务的海曼和机器系统的特征分类法。这项工作涉及一种跨学科的方法，因为它将把柔性制造系统中最先进的技术与人因工程领域的任务分析方法结合起来。这项工作的目标是整合这两个技术领域的文献，并建立一种将功能需求与人类和/或机器人能力相匹配的方法的可行性。

This effort will investigate the feasibility of a methodology to allocate functions to people and/or machines in manufacturing systems based upon the requirements of the tasks to be performed and the capability of each system. The methodology will involve a taxonomy of task characteristics and a taxonomy of characteristics of hyman and machine systems that are used to perform those tasks. The effort involves a cross-disciplinary approach in that it will integrate the technical state-of-the-art in flexible manufacturing systems with task analysis methods from the field of human factors engineering. The goal of the effort is to integrate the literatures from these two technicl areas and establish the feasibility of a methodology to match functional requirements with human and/or robotic capabilities.
