Advanced and ubiquitous human machine interaction
Comment: FALCON will implement novel feedback loops between e.g. the operators of medical and high-tech equipment with the designers and service providers, enabling new possibilities for services to improve the function of these devices/machines. By implementing mobile ("App") interfaces on top of the FALCON Virtual Open Platform, and enabling e.g. doctors to provide usage feedback on medical equipment or manufacturing operators to give feedback on metrology equipment, FALCON will contribute to advancing the state-of-the-art in this area.

Comment:

HORSE includes human-machine interaction with Interfaces targeted to be easy-to-use by unskilled workers and learning by demonstration capabilities, to be able to program a robot without the need for robotics expertise.

Advanced and ubiquitous human machine interaction
Comment: HORSE encompasses multi-modal supervision and control modes for a variety of existing and novel robotic co-workers: cooperative robots (cobots) and “third hand” robots for diverse manufacturing applications, and also demonstration based robot programming techniques for an intuitive programming of robots tasks by non-robotics experts.

Comment:

Requirements of modern production processes stress the need for greater agility and flexibility, for faster production cycles, increased productivity, less waste and more sustainable production. Human-machine interaction is put in the center, supporting the decision making process.

Investigation of advanced HMIs for direct interaction with real-world objects. Consideration of mobile user interfaces that allow accessing crucial immediate information everywhere in the factory. Consideration will also be given to data gathering from ultra low power IoT devices such as wireless sensors where data can then be aggregated and visualised at an appropriate HMI interface. Where possible provision for self-powering these IoT devices using energy harvesting will be taken into account in order to avoid battery replacement. Flexible and dynamic data-driven solutions that can be adapted to different environments and needs.

Results:
Interoperability for M2M & HMI in factory environments II
Interoperability for M2M & HMI in factory environments II
Advanced and ubiquitous human machine interaction
Comment: Decision makers are not at their desk the whole day. In order to reduce the probability that they miss important information, the project investigates user interface solutions for the shop floor and everywhere else in the factory, in order to provide data monitoring, control and notification systems, that help humans in interaction with machines and with the decision making process.
