VISIONBOT

Objectives of the Project

VISIONBOT represents a significant advancement in robot training by integrating several technologies into a unified framework. It simulates and programs the movements of a robot in an intuitive, accurate fluid and safe way, considering the user perspective. VISIONBOT implements hand-tracking technologies that allow users to interact with a digital twin of the robot with a natural and immersive experience, reducing the learning curve for non-technical users. VISIONBOT applies realistic physical constraints within the simulation, ensuring that the robotic joints’ movements adhere to their true degrees of freedom and limits and pointing out potential errors. The HMI is designed with a Human Factors approach and focus on ergonomics to offer simplified and effective visualisation techniques to allow quick and effective involvement of users. The validation of the solution will be done in multiple steps, based on an iterative approach of design, development and testing, to ensure that the framework correctly translates virtual actions into real-world robot movements while maintaining accuracy, safety, and responsiveness.

As a result, within 12 months VISIONBOT will deliver an open software module usable across robotic platforms.
