This paper details and discusses work performed at the woodworking SME Mivelaz Techniques Bois SA within the SME-robotics FP7 project. The aim is to improve non-expert handling of the cell by introduction of cognitive abilities in the robot system. Three areas are considered; intuitive programming, process adaptation and system integration. Proposed cognitive components are described together with experiments performed.
