Im Rahmen des DFG-Graduiertenkollegs „CrossWorlds“ (http://www.crossworlds.info) wird im Teilbereich Kommunikation ein autonomer mobiler Roboter aufgebaut. Das Anwendungsszenario ist das Industriemuseum Chemnitz. Mithilfe von technischen Mitteln werden die Exponate des Industriemuseums durch die Informationen und Darstellungen der virtuellen Welt erweitert. Der Roboter CLUES (Cross worLds autonomoUs mobilE robot hoSt) tritt dabei als Mittler zwischen der realen Museumswelt und virtuellen Informationswelt auf. Er bietet den Besuchern die Möglichkeit zur Interaktion mit den bereitgestellten Inhalten und nimmt gleichzeitig als Gastgeber des Museums die Besucher wahr. Dieser erste Bericht beinhaltet die Grundidee des Projektes und die Hardwareausrüstung. Er schildert die Auswahl und Abstimmung der eingesetzten technischen Geräte. Mit Blick auf das Anwendungsszenario und die technischen Möglichkeiten werden die auftretenden Probleme und Lösungen diskutiert.

Seit 2015 arbeitet das Fraunhofer IVV, Dresden intensiv mit interdisziplinären Forschergruppen aus Maschinenbauern, Mechatronikern, Psychologen und Designern an der Entwicklung eines selbstlernendes Bediener-Assistenzsystems. Von Beginn an wird das Team außerdem von einem industriellen Beraterkreis aus Verbänden, Maschinenbetreibern und -herstellern unterstützt. Dadurch wird die Forschung und Entwicklung eng an den Bedarfen der potentiellen Nutzer ausgerichtet. Gleichzeitig erhalten unsere Partner die Möglichkeit, ihre eigenen Entwicklungen und Prozesse zu hinterfragen und sich mit kompetenten Experten über bestimmte Herausforderungen auszutauschen. In dieser Kooperation hat sich das jährliche VVD-Anwenderforum zum zentralen Baustein entwickelt. Am 10. Oktober 2019 findet nun unser 3. VVD-Anwenderforum „Bediener-Assistenzsysteme“ in Dresden statt. Dazu möchten wir Sie recht herzlich einladen. Zusätzlich vom VVD-Anwenderforum bieten wir am 9. Oktober ein Workshop „Einstieg in Machine Learning“ statt. In diesem Workshop stellen wir das wichtigste Wording, die grundlegende Mathematik, die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen vor. Damit wollen wir die Teilnehmenden in die Lage versetzen, Ideen für eigene Anwendungsmöglichkeiten zu entwickeln und sich mit Fachexperten über Zielstellungen auszutauschen.:1.

Σκοπός της εργασίας είναι η μελέτη της ανάπτυξης περιβάλλοντος εικονικής και επαυξημένης πραγματικότητας για την υποστήριξη ανθρωποκεντρικών διεργασιών στον τομέα της παραγωγής. Οι τεχνολογίες εικονικής και επαυξημένης πραγματικότητας μπορούν να μειώσουν σημαντικά το χρόνο και το κόστος ανάπτυξης προϊόντων και διεργασιών στην παραγωγή. Αυτή τη στιγμή υπάρχει ένα μεγάλο χάσμα μεταξύ των συμβατικών CAD-βασιζόμενων μεθόδων και των μεθόδων προηγμένης προτυποποίησης και επικύρωσης που προσφέρει η χρήση της εικονικής και επαυξημένης πραγματικότητας. Συνεπώς, υπάρχει ανάγκη εμπλουτισμού των εικονικών περιβαλλόντων με νοημοσύνη, μέσω ενσωμάτωσης της γνώσης, επιτρέποντας την πραγματοποίηση πολύπλοκων εργασιών, μειώνοντας την ανάγκη για ανάπτυξη φυσικών πρωτοτύπων και αυξάνοντας τη δυνατότητα επαναχρησιμοποίησης. Αφενός, περιβάλλοντα επαυξημένης πραγματικότητας που βασίζονται σε σημασιολογική γνώση καθώς και νέες μέθοδοι αλληλεπίδρασης με τον χρήστη μπορούν να παρέχουν τα μέσα για την επανατοποθέτηση του ανθρώπου στην παραγωγική διαδικασία. Αφετέρου, περιβάλλοντα εικονικής πραγματικότητας σε συνδυασμό με τη σημασιολογική γνώση μπορούν να παρέχουν μεθόδους και εργαλεία που ενσωματώνουν τις 3D γεωμετρίες με τις πληροφορίες και τη γνώση, έτσι ώστε οι μηχανικοί να μπορούν αποτελεσματικά να αξιολογήσουν και να διαχειρίζονται εικονικά πρωτότυπα σε ένα εμβυθισμένο και διαδραστικό περιβάλλον. Εντός της παρούσας διατριβής, αναπτύχθηκε μια γενική VR και AR προσέγγιση βασισμένη στην ανάλυση της ανθρώπινης εργασίας και των μεθόδων χαρτογράφησης της γνώσης που υλοποιούνται σε ένα πλαίσιο εικονικής και επαυξημένης πραγματικότητας. Το πλαίσιο VR/AR έχει αναπτυχθεί για να χρησιμοποιηθεί με την προσέγγιση μεθόδου δύο σταδίων χρησιμοποιώντας προηγμένες τεχνικές αλληλεπίδρασης. Η μέθοδος και το πλαίσιο που αναπτύχθηκαν επιβεβαιώνονται μέσα από μια σειρά πραγματικών δοκιμών στην παραγωγή, τόσο της αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας όσο και της αεροδιαστημικής βιομηχανίας. Τέλος, η αξιολόγηση των προτεινόμενων μεθόδων και του πλαισίου βασίζεται σε πραγματικές δοκιμές στη βιομηχανία με χρήση ποσοτικών δεικτών, επιβεβαιώνοντας τη βελτίωση της ροής εργασιών σε σύγκριση με τη συμβατική. / The aim of this work is to study the development of virtual and augmented reality environment for the support of human-based processes in manufacturing. Virtual and augmented reality technologies can significantly reduce the development time and cost of products and processes in manufacturing. However there is currently a big gap between the conventional CAD-based processes and the advanced prototyping and validation methods offered with the use of VR and AR technology. There is a need for the virtual environments to be enriched with intelligence through the incorporation of knowledge. This will allow for complex tasks to be carried out, thus reducing the need for an ad hoc development, while the reusability of such an environment will be increased. On the one hand, augmented reality environments based on semantic knowledge and new user interaction methods can provide the means for putting the human back in the process loop at manufacturing level. On the other hand, virtual reality environments coupled with semantic knowledge can provide methods and tools that integrate 3D geometries with information/knowledge so that engineers can effectively evaluate and manipulate virtual prototypes in an immersive and interactive environment. Within the current dissertation, a generic VR and AR approach is developed based on human task analysis and knowledge mapping methods that are implemented in a Virtual and Augmented Reality Framework. The VR/AR framework is developed to be used with the two-step method approach using advanced interaction techniques. The developed method and framework are validated through a series of real life manufacturing test cases derived from both the automotive and aerospace industrial practices. Finally, an evaluation of the proposed methods and framework is carried out, based on one of the industrial test cases using quantitative metrics, giving insight on to the improvement of the engineering workflow using the proposed work compared with the conventional physical workflow.

This diploma thesis exmines the negative aspects of using information and communication technologies. The main attention is fosused on virtual reality, especially 3D projection in order to decide wheather the using of it has negative impact on phycal and psychological state of the user or not, which exactly are these impacts and what probably cause them. This first part is dedicated to expain concept and history of ICT, explonation of the multidimensional princip and content of each dimension. The following is determination of which ICT areas are currently struggling in their use with negative effects. Detected list of these areas is reduced to six specific technologies which common user has opportunities to experience. These particular technologies were examined as a form of questionnaire, which resulted in a determination of the most used one, ie virtual reality. Shortly afterwards was conducted an experiment imparting undesirable effects caused by using virtual reality. The other five selected technologies are discussed for the most important negatives with which has to face today. The main finding of this study is the identification the side effects of virtual reality based on different types of technologies which are anaglyf 3D projection, passive 3D projection, active 3D projection and comparing if adverse effects depends on the type. It also includes determining the rate of uptake in virtual reality.

Traditionelle 3D-Anwendungsentwicklung für VR/AR verläuft in heterogenen Entwicklerteams unstrukturiert, ad hoc und ist fehlerbehaftet. Der präsentierte Roundtrip3D Entwicklungsprozess ermöglicht die iterativ inkrementelle 3D-Anwendungsentwicklung, wechselseitig auf Softwaremodell- und Implementierungsebene. Modelle fördern das gemeinsame Verständnis unter Projektbeteiligten und sichern durch generierte Schnittstellen gleichzeitiges Programmieren und 3D-Modellieren zu. Das Roundtrip3D Werkzeug ermittelt Inkonsistenzen zwischen vervollständigten 3D-Inhalten und Quelltexten auch für verschiedene Plattformen und visualisiert sie auf abstrakter Modellebene. Die gesamte Implementierung wird nicht simultan, sondern nach codegetriebener Entwicklung kontrolliert mit Softwaremodellen abgeglichen. Inkremente aus aktualisierten Softwaremodellen fließen in dann wieder zueinander konsistente Quelltexte und 3D-Inhalte ein. Der Roundtrip3D Entwicklungsprozess vereint dauerhaft Vorteile codegetriebener mit modellgetriebener 3D-Anwendungsentwicklung und fördert strukturiertes Vorgehen im agilen Umfeld.
