Abstract
In this paper we discuss the potential of Gibson’s affordance concept in industrial robotics. Recent advances in robotics introduce more and more robots to collaborate with human co-workers in industrial environments, more ambitious development of using mobile manipulators in industrial environments has also received widespread attentions. We investigate how the conventional robotic affordance concept fits the pragmatic industrial robotic applications with the focuses on flexibility, re-purposing and safety.
