Abstract

Human-Robot collaboration enhances flexibility and efficiency in modern manufacturing. Collaborative robots work alongside human operators to combine robotic precision with human adaptability. A key challenge is defining task sequences, managing dependencies, and aligning workflows with strategic goals. This paper addresses this challenge by integrating goal models with process models. Goal models capture the “why,” while process models define the “how” in operational workflows. Our approach systematically maps goals to tasks, ensuring clear traceability and cohesive task execution. We evaluate this method through a collaborative assembly use case. The integration refines task dependencies, improves coordination, and ensures alignment between goals and processes. This approach supports efficient human-robot collaboration in semi-automated manufacturing environments.
