PROPOSAL: Collaborative Robotics COBOTS for Small-Scale Assembly Lines

Real-Time Dashboard
Monitor Cobot Status, Task Progress, Human Availability, Alerts

<p>Return in Charging Dock / Idle Zone / Next Assignment</p>

Self-Check: Battery Level, Tooling Calibration

Phase 1: Task Initiation & Cobot Dispatch

Central System calculates optimal station & path

Autonomous Mobile Base Navigates to Target Station
LIDAR, SLAM, Obstacle Avoidance

Arrival at Station & Position Verification
via UWB/Visual Marker

Execute Station Handshake Protocol
Link base, Establish comms

Phase 2: Collaborative Assembly Execution

Cobot prepares workspace
Presents parts, holds components

Human Operator performs complex, dexterous tasks
(e.g., wiring, connectors insertion)

Cobot assists: shines light, provides torque support,
hands next tool/part

Operator gives verbal or UI command for next step

Cobot executes precise, repetitive, or strenuous tasks
(e.g., screw driving, applying adhesive, lifting heavy parts)

Quality Check at each step
Vision system or human verification

Flag Error: Reroute for Rework or Alert Supervisor

<p>Phase 3: Task Completion &amp; Cobot Redeployment</p>

3D Depth Camera: Slow/Stop on human proximity

Physical Compliant Arm for safe physical interaction
