Abstract: Many assembly processes, particularly in the manufacture of large components, are still carried out by humans manually. In addition to rationalization aspects, high quality requirements, non-ergonomic activities, the lack of well-qualified workers etc. may require the use of automation technology. Through novel possibilities of human-robot-cooperation these challenges can be met through a skills-based division of labor. In this article an approach to process-dependent task assignment to human or robot is presented. The approach is based on a detailed analysis of the skills of humans and robots, in order to bring it into balance with the required product and process characteristics.
