The cooperation between man and technology will continue to increase in future industrial systems. Automation continues to advance, and at the same time the role of humans in production is changing towards monitoring and control.
On the way there, many workstations will be equipped with more automation, with which interfaces must be interacted effectively. This includes robust and fault-tolerant perception of the environment and the people acting in it, flexible and safe robot control, fast and effective situational awareness, attention control, as well as predictive modelling, recognition and prediction of human activity.
The research goal of the group is to facilitate this close cooperation between humans and robots.
The focus is on
- robust and reliable methods for the detection and tracking (monitoring) of people and objects in a facility
- force-controlled compliant robots
- Augmented Reality for on-site monitoring and control of complex technical systems
- Virtual Reality for the maintenance, control and programming of complex environments, also over a distance and as a platform for the education and training of employees.
The work with the robot systems has been carried out as part of the Tipi-Fab for some time now.
