Shaping the Future of Industrial Training with Extended Reality

MASTER aims to bring training with Extended Reality (XR) and robotics to life by incorporating XR technologies into the training environment.

“We are developing tools to help people program robots using Extended Reality technologies. Our goal is for anybody to be able to program a robot without having to write any code. And for that we’re going to have intuitive interactive XR technologies that they can use.” – Johan Kildahl, Tekniker

There are various ways to integrate XR technologies into the training environment such as  Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). AR creates a safe environment where one can learn to control a robot using an advanced interactive mechanism. In MR computer generated elements are combined with the real world whereas VR replicates the real world as closely as possible.

In our project, as stated by our partners from Teaching Factory Competence Center, we are trying to improve the working conditions for the operators by increasing their ergonomy and safety awareness and consequently empower safety culture. This scenario is brought into reality by MR and VR.

The use of robots in industry will be increasingly enhanced with XR applications. Workers must be able to understand these technologies and use hybrid solutions confidently, which is one of the goals of the MASTER project.

The impact of MASTER  will be enhanced with the inclusion of two Open Calls for technology providers to create XR experiences and engage education institutes in developing training materials using those tools. Apply to our First Open Call now, more information on its dedicated page on our website.

Follow us on a transformative journey to a future where learning is immersive, interactive, and empowers the Industry 4.0 workforce for tomorrow’s challenges.
