Collaborative robotics is a dynamically developing field that combines technical innovations with the principles of human-machine interaction. However, for the successful integration of collaborative robots, it is crucial to provide intuitive and user-friendly work instructions. The aim of the presented study was to design, create and validate standardized visualized work instructions for the basic operating functions of the collaborative robot MiR100 and UR5e. The methodological framework of the research combined bibliometric analysis and experimental testing of user workflows. The results confirmed the exponential growth of scientific interest in collaborative robotics and the contribution of visualized instructions to improving understanding, accuracy and subjective satisfaction of users. At the same time, visualized procedures reduced stress levels and supported independent interaction with the robotic system. The study emphasizes the importance of a user-centered approach and offers practical guidance for working more effectively with collaborative robots.
