工業 4.0 是目前世界上自動化製造產業的下一步革新。就全球的製造產業來說，除了面臨勞動人力不足與 惡劣作業環境等問題，還需因應週期短、量少、多樣性的產品，造成目前生產製造方式無法滿足需求。然 而在工業 4.0 智慧製造中，智慧機器人的使用，扮演居中關鍵角色，因為智慧機器人將可取代部份人力生 產方式，以解決了勞動力不足的問題。與目前多數工業機器人僅用在簡單生產工作使用相較，工業 4.0 智 慧機器人需有更多的感測與決策能力，來解決較複雜與精密的生產工作，甚至透過人類協同來進行彈性生 產。因此，在本文中將提到工業機器人未來具有思考、學習、判斷等能力外，如何與工業 4.0 技術核心如 物聯網、雲端、大數據、人機協同整合，以改善與最佳化自動化製造流程，達到提升產品產能、品質、降 低不良率等目標。本文將簡介工業 4.0 智慧機器人需具備的能力，並將分別針對物聯網、大數據、人機協 同與智慧機器人的整合進行概述。

Industry 4.0 is currently the world's trend of automation technology. For the global manufacturing industry, they need to cope with the problem of labor shortage, the problem of short product cycle time, and the problem of smallvolume, large-variety production, resulting in the current production methods cannot meet the manufacturing demands. However, in Industry 4.0, intelligent robots play a key role because intelligent robots will be able to demonstrate the versatility to replace some of human labor, in order to ease the above-mentioned problems. Compared to industrial robots currently used for simple production work, intelligent robots are endowed with sensing and decision-making abilities to accomplish more complex production work, or even co-work with humans for flexible production. In this article, we mention that should intelligent robots in Industry 4.0 not only think and learn, but also exploit the synergy among essential core technologies in Industry 4.0 such as cloud, big data, and collaborative human-computer interface to improve and optimize manufacturing processes. This article will overview the above aspects.
