Human-machine interfaces for industrial robotic cells

Human-Machine Interfaces for Industrial Robotic Cells, discusses how to make human-machine interfaces more natural and accessible to humans. Programming robots is still too complex and too slow. Consequently this process is often not completed properly and this results in a poor human machine interface. This programming problem can be addressed by adopting High-Level Programming techniques. By introducing the basics of human-machine interfaces and exploring examples designed to reveal the intricacies of programming readers will gain a real insight on how to design, plan and implement a human-machine interface.
