Task allocation
Assign repetition, force, judgement, dexterity and exception handling deliberately.

FUURAA thesis
Shared space is not the same as useful collaboration; value depends on a coherent division of work.
Engineering map
Turn the title into engineering objects that can be observed, measured and reviewed.
Each layer states the boundary to establish and the evidence needed for the next decision.
Interaction points
Map every transfer of parts, information, authority and physical access.
Recovery path
Design how people recognise, diagnose and recover interruptions without new exposure.
Verification questions
Write the questions first, then decide whether a demo, test, pilot or operating record can answer them.
Each question needs an object, conditions, denominator, threshold and accountable decision owner.
- 01
What does the robot remove from human workload?
- 02
Where must people wait for, approach or redirect the robot?
- 03
Which exceptions require judgement or dexterity?
- 04
Does the new sequence create hidden monitoring or recovery work?
Evidence to preserve
Enable the next reader to reconstruct conditions, results, failures and the decision.
A conclusion alone loses reviewability; raw records, configuration and exclusions matter too.

Evidence package 1
Current- and future-state task maps with timings
- 02
Evidence package 2
Observed hand-off, wait and interruption records
- 03
Evidence package 3
Worker review of workload, usability and recovery
Scope boundary
State what this evidence still cannot be generalised to.
- 01
A faster robot motion does not establish a faster human–robot workflow.
- 02
This is an engineering reading and decision framework; it does not replace application-specific risk assessment, conformity work, procurement acceptance or professional advice.
Sources and evidence status
Read standards scope, measurement evidence and application conclusions separately.
Source dates and review status remain visible; external sources open in a new tab.
