Abstract

Currently, cyber-physical systems are actively developing. Therefore, research aimed at creating efficient systems is relevant. One of the tasks of such systems is the redistribution of functions between the human and the system. In the case of intensive activity of the employee and the accumulation of fatigue, it is necessary to support his activity with a robot. Despite the existence of some models, this issue has not been fully studied especially concerning cyber-physical systems. The work aims to develop an agent-based model for assessing the quality of the cyber-physical system, consisting of a worker performing intensive work and a robot to support the worker. The model involves the parameters of the worker and the parameters of the labor activity of the worker and robot. As a result of the work, a model was built, and modeling was performed. The simulation result is a series of curves and their analysis.
