iProgram: Intuitive programming of an industrial HRI cell

This paper introduces a concept for intuitive programming of an industrial HRI cell for non-experts. The main idea of this concept is to combine recently available technologies ranging from speech recognition, 3D visual surveillance (person tracking and object recognition) and handheld devices over to teach-in, visual programming and instruction based programming of compliant robots for heavy loads. With these components an easy method for programming or adapting workflows within an industrial packaging cell was realized and tested in a real factory environment.
