Abstract

In a work system with direct human robot cooperation the conformity of the operator's expectation with the behavior of the robotic device is of great importance. In this contribution a novel approach for the numerical control of such a system based on human cognition and a cognitive engineered approach for the encoding of the system's a priori knowledge is introduced. The implementation using an established method in the field of design of cognitive systems is compared to a schema describing human decision making. Finally, simulation results of the implementation are compared to empirical tests with individuals.
