Abstract :
The aim of the research presented in this paper is to develop a robot which can easily be instructed how to either perform tasks autonomously or in cooperation with humans. We describe the prototype of our Manufacturing Assistant and the methods developed for teaching new tasks and environments. The functionality has been demonstrated in a number of factory settings. In this paper, some application examples of our methods are presented.
