Interactive Learning of Robot Manufacturing Assistants

In this paper, research towards interactive learning for robot Manufacturing Assistants is pre- sented. The aim of this research is to develop a robot which can easily be instructed how to either perform tasks autonomously or in co-operation with humans. We describe the proto- type 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.
