Abstract:
The rapid evolution of industrial automation has revolutionised industries over the past few decades, with technology replacing manual labour through the integration of industrial robots. This paper delves into the pivotal role of industrial automation in bolstering productivity, curtailing labour costs, and elevating product quality, paramount pursuits for businesses striving for competitiveness. Situated within a "Digitisation of Human Skills" project, this research focuses on automating tasks in the automotive industry, specifically automotive painting quality inspection. The proposed approach combines a Shadow Dexterous Hand and a UR5 robotic arm, controlled through teleoperation with the BioIK kinematic retargeting algorithm. Two methods, OpenPose and MediaPipe, were assessed for acquiring human hand data for teleoperation. The study demonstrates the successful replication of human movements for automotive painting quality inspection utilising BioIK and MediaPipe, underscoring the potential of automation in this critical industrial domain.
