The paper identifies the need for human robot\ncollaboration for conventional light weight and heavy\npayload robots in future manufacturing environment. An\noverview of state of the art for these types of robots shows\nthat there exists no solution for human robot collaboration.\nHere, we consider cyber physical systems, which are based\non human worker participation as an integrated role in\naddition to its basic components. First, the paper identifies\nthe collaborative schemes and a formal grading system is\nformulated based on four performance indicators. A\ndetailed sensor catalog is established for one of the collaboration\nschemes, and performance indices are computed\nwith various sensors. This study reveals an assessment of\nbest and worst possible ranges of performance indices that\nare useful in the categorization of collaboration levels. To\nillustrate a possible solution, a hypothetical industrial\nscenario is discussed in a production environment. Generalizing\nthis approach, a design methodology is developed\nfor such human robot collaborative environments for various\nindustrial scenarios to enable solution implementation.
