Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel approach for multimodal interactions between humans and industrial robots. The application scenario is situated in a factory, where a human worker is supported by a robot to accomplish a given hybrid assembly scenario, that covers manual and automated assembly steps. The robot is acting as an assistant as well as a fully autonomous assembly unit. For interacting with the presented system, the human is able to give his commands via three different input modalities (speech, gaze and the so-called soft-buttons).
