Abstract

When a service technician repairs an air-conditioning system, or a factory worker operates a robot system, there exists an appropriate and efficient work process. A better work process is realized through the skills that workers acquire by experience. It is desirable that the improved work process be documented in manual form and shared among other workers. However documenting a work process is a time-consuming task. To automate the documentation, we have developed a method of observing a worker's motion with IC accelerometers and we have built a program that automatically generates a manual from the recorded work process.
