ABSTRACT
The commissioning and programming of complex robotized handling operations requires extensive planning efforts, which do not contribute directly to the added value. A cognitive control system is able to generate essential sequences of actions at run time on the foundation of model-based knowledge regarding task, system and process flow and in consideration of current environmental information. A software framework on the basis of the cognitive architecture Soar, which allows for the creation of intelligent robotized handling processes, has been designed. In order for a human operator to supervise and interact with such a cognitively controlled system, a promising approach is to design the behavior of the system in a cognitive- ergonomic way. Thus, this paper describes the design and implementation of Methods-Time Measurement 1 (MTM-1) key elements as cognitive-ergonomic process logic to control an industrial robot in an assembly task.
