Abstract :
In this paper, research towards interactive learning for manufacturing Assistants is presented. The aim of this research is to develop a robot which can easily be instructed as how to either perform tasks autonomously or in co-operation with humans. We describe the prototype of our manufacturing assistant and the methods developed for teaching new tasks and environments. The functionality has been demonstrated in a number of factory settings. In this paper, some application examples of our methods are presented
