Project description
The application is a virtual reality (VR) simulation in which the assembly of a KUKA robot can be trained with the help of VR glasses and a VibroTac wristband. Objects can be gripped, positioned and assembled in a virtual assembly cell. The wristband generates perceptible (haptic) feedback. Training software was developed for this purpose as part of the project. In this way, the assembly process can be analysed and optimised. Similarly, 'beginner's mistakes' can be avoided and risks reduced if the assembly is practised in a simulation before it is actually carried out. The project was carried out in co-operation with the company KUKA Roboter GmbH. It was successfully continued in the winter semester 2017/18 and is to be expanded to include the aspect of avatars in virtual reality in the coming summer semester 2018.
