Popis: Industrial robots have been widely used in factory automation. On the other hand, in the final assembly in automobile factories, many tasks are still completed by humans due to the difficulties and costs associated with automation. One example still requiring skilled human operators is the installation of the automobile window. The window installation assist robot we developed enables a single operator to install a window easily. The present study focuses on kinesthetic assistance including preliminary experiments and application to automobile window installation during car assembly demonstrating the effectiveness of our proposal.
