Abstract
The change in production towards smaller batch sizes demands a high degree of flexibility, especially in assembly. In this context, human-robot collaboration (HRC) is becoming increasingly important. The goal is not to displace the human being by the robot, but instead receiving support from it. Nevertheless, employees at all levels have to be prepared for the HRC. Trainings offered from robot manufacturers focus on robot specific operations and are not sufficient for the development of competencies for innovative and creative process planning and optimisation. Therefore, a mixed reality learning environment can be used for the implementation of such training, since real production facilities are only available to a limited extent for training purposes. In the context of the implementation of a mixed reality learning environment, the question arises as to the necessity of haptic feedback. This article presents a concept for integrating HRC in German initial and continuing vocational education and training using mixed reality.
