A benchmarking platform for Human Machine cooperation in Cyber Physical Manufacturing Systems

Abstract : The research community is producing a tremendous amount of works with the sole purpose to prepare for the next industrial revolution. In the context of the development of cyber-physical systems to production systems, a variety of technologies and architectures integrating humans and machines are studied. Results are evaluated using platforms to identify the best solutions. However, most platforms are designed to test one approach in a specific domain and the human integration remains difficult to evaluate. As the cooperation aspect between Humans and machines becomes of an increasing concern, a global benchmarking platform becomes necessary. Such a platform is specified in this paper. An illustration is detailed, based on the concept of digital twin.
