This paper deals with work monitoring for autonomous computer support. We have mentioned that a key technology for realizing autonomous support is computer recognition of a work sequence and work motion performed by human workers. In this paper, the effectiveness of using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) for monitoring human work is discussed. Since RFID can identify the individual tag without physical contact, the work sequence is monitored by the detection of the RFID tag that is set on assembly parts. This function of RFID leads to the realization of a parallel monitoring structure that is a reliable recognition process of a work sequence, and a motion recognition algorithm without position sensing that had some problems in assembly environments. Experimental results show that RFID is effectively used for monitoring a work sequence and ensuring motion recognition in mechanical assembly work.
