Cover Story: Human–robot collaboration (HRC) is becoming increasingly important in industrial assembly and requires a reasonable allocation of tasks to humans or robots. The article presents a new approach for dynamic task allocation, its integration into an intuitive block-based process planning framework, and its evaluation in comparison to both manual assembly and static task allocation. A systematic methodology for the comprehensive evaluation of task allocation approaches is proposed, followed by a user study. For the dynamic task allocation, the results show a higher HRC fluency with good adaptation to process delays, and a reduction in cycle time for assembly processes with sufficiently high degrees of parallelism. Based on the study results, assembly scenarios in which manual assembly or collaborative assembly with static or dynamic task allocation is most appropriate are discussed. View this paper
