MirrorLabs – creating similar learning environment for students all over Europe for human-robot coproduction

Creating similar learning environment for students all over Europe for human-robot coproduction – [MirrorLabs]

In order to educate students for “people and robots for sustainable work”, students will need to access real hardware. One of the emerging Human-Robot-Interaction techniques is the Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR). Combining AR/VR with existing robotics infrastructure is quite challenging. Furthermore, it is even more complicated to get students familiar with all of the required background. The aim of this proposal is the development of an common, easy-to-use ICT infrastructure for the existing equipment in the labs of the participating partners. The developed software is planned to be released open source, so that it can be used by other partners within and outside EIT Manufacturing community. The project will develop a software platform and tutorials on how to set up the platform and how to get started to work with it. With this, it can be used as a base for other Nuggets created within the EIT Manufacturing Education pillar.
