Proposal Title: Proximity Machinery through Distributed Augmented Reality HMI Layers for Empowering Industrial operators in Low Resources Scenarios
Proposal Summary: In order for the training to support the Resilient Operator 5.0 and its smart workspace visions, the EU industry training ought to implement effective, sustainable, and replicable human-centered educational scenarios taking the shopfloor technicians/operators in-the-loop or on-the-loop. Based on cognitive ergonomics and human factors research, PROXIMA will bring psychological factors at the heart of education in industry and will develop an Augmented Reality (AR) training kit for supporting contextual, site-specific, and on-the-job training through technology, methods and materials for both educators and trainees in the industry. In particular, PROXIMA will design, develop, prototype, validate and release an Augmented Reality (AR) Training Kit that seamlessly integrates the following services: spatial guidance to the production environment; machine and equipment training; hazard identification, through virtual simulations and real-time on-field and contextual guidance on its use. Based on this, the innovation of PROXIMA resides in the following values: (i) Worker centricity – the investigation on users’ psychological (knowledge, skills, and attitude towards automation), and cognitive dimensions (inspection, awareness, decision-making) will allow making the trainees next to the machine (lat. proximus (a): close to, intimate); (ii) Augmented Reality training authoring – the smart tutoring system will be used by trainers to make the machine next to the trainees (lat. proximus (b): evident, ready-at-hand); (iii) Context intelligent training – trainees will be engaged in on-field AR interactions that sense and respond to the environment allowing to exercise with relevant situations that may occur during production.
