Abstract

Current industrial robotics focuses on the utilization within clearly defined and structured production environments. However due to increasing product variety, a paradigm shift away from repetition of static task towards dynamic human-robot collaboration is noticeable. Due to the fact that static automation can only be achieved at a prefabrication level within the construction industry, this shift towards adaptable robotics can be utilized for new concepts for on-site robotic assistance. We extensively illustrate our approach towards robotics that adapts to changing environmental conditions and material features, while retaining a degree of predictability necessary for effective collaboration. Furthermore, by integrating human-robot collaboration with parametric modelling a feedback to design is established. The term haptic programming is coined in order to illustrate the direct interconnection between parametric model and human-robot collaboration. First application examples are shown to illustrate the use of a priori knowledge from the design phase in combination with haptic interaction primitives to enable intuitive human-robot collaboration. Haptic programming allows the exchange of knowledge between the user and a robot on a physical level.
