This paper proposes a novel human-friendly/cooperative work support robot. This system named PaDY (in-time Parts/tools Delivery to You robot) supports worker by delivering parts and tools to worker based on recognized worker's behavior in the car production site to reduce the worker's physical workload and improve work efficiency. The concept of PaDY, hardware of the prototype, statistic approach to recognize worker's procedure, work progress estimation method and motion planning method based on them are proposed.
