Item Augmented Reality for Supporting Workers in Human–Robot Collaboration(2023-04-10) Moya, Ana; Bastida, Leire; Aguirrezabal, Pablo; Pantano, Matteo; Abril-Jiménez, Patricia; ADV_INTER_PLAT; VISUALThis paper discusses the potential benefits of using augmented reality (AR) technology to enhance human–robot collaborative industrial processes. The authors describe a real-world use case at Siemens premises in which an AR-based authoring tool is used to reduce cognitive load, assist human workers in training robots, and support calibration and inspection tasks during assembly tasks. The study highlights the potential of AR as a solution for optimizing human–robot collaboration and improving productivity. The article describes the methodology used to deploy and evaluate the ARContent tool, which demonstrated improved usability, reduced task load, and increased efficiency in the assembly process. However, the study is limited by the restricted availability of workers and their knowledge of assembly tasks with robots. The authors suggest that future work should focus on testing the ARContent tool with a larger user pool and improving the authoring tool based on the shortcomings identified during the study. Overall, this work shows the potential for AR technology to revolutionize industrial processes and improve collaboration between humans and robots.Item Standardising Marine Renewable Energy Testing: Gap Analysis and Recommendations for Development of Standards: Gap analysis and recommendations for development of standards(2021-09-06) Noble, Donald R.; O’Shea, Michael; Judge, Frances; Robles, Eider; Martinez, Rodrigo; Khalid, Faryal; Thies, Philipp R.; Johanning, Lars; Corlay, Yann; Gabl, Roman; Davey, Thomas A. D.; Vejayan, Nithiananthan; Murphy, Jimmy; RENOVABLES OFFSHOREMarine renewable energy (MRE) is still an emerging technology. As such, there is still a lack of mature standards and guidance for the development and testing of these devices. The sector covers a wide range of disciplines, so there is a need for more comprehensive guidance to cover these. This paper builds on a study undertaken in the MaRINET2 project to summarise recommendations and guidance for testing MRE devices and components, by reviewing the recently published guidance. Perceived gaps in the guidance are then discussed, expanding on the previous study. Results from an industry survey are also used to help quantify and validate these gaps. The main themes identified can be summarised as: the development progression from concept to commercialisation, including more complex environmental conditions in testing, accurately modelling and quantifying the power generated, including grid integration, plus modelling and testing of novel moorings and foundation solutions. A pathway to a standardised approach to MRE testing is presented, building on recommendations learnt from the MaRINET2 round-robin testing, showing how these recommendations are being incorporated into the guidance and ultimately feeding into the development of international standards for the marine renewable energy sector.
