Abstract:
A user-centered method of parameterizing robotic system is indispensable to enable workers with lower qualification levels the access to robotic systems. In this paper, different ways and types of communication are investigated to increase the usability during the programming of a movable robotic cell utilized for mounting processes inside a production line. Thereto, the entire usability circle given by the ISO 9241- 210 is applied. Using the feedback of 13 participants from an initial formative evaluation inside a real production line, usability problems and six requirement categories were identified. Applying the prototypical design, we evaluated four possibilities of multimodal and bidirectional communication utilizing audio, haptic and visual channels. The results from the final usability study in the laboratory reveal that haptic plus visual input combined with visual plus audio feedback is assessed as most intuitive. Pre-experience with robots showed no significant influence on usability, acceptance and perceived safety in most modalities.
