Workshop: Exploring AR-enabled Human-Robotic Collaboration System for Collaborative Assembly Tasks.
CAADRIA 2024 @ Singapore University of Technology And Design
20-22 April 2021
Overview
Day 1
- Hands-on Exercise: Collaborative assembly exercise to construct small scale Voronoi structure.
- Hands-on Exercise: Collaborative assembly exercise to construct medium scale Voronoi structure.
- Technical Induction: Surrounding using cooperative robotic arm.
- Hands-on Exercise: Collaborative assembly exercise with cooperative robotic arm in Freedrive mode.
- Group discussion: “How cooperative robotic arm could be used to effectively support architectural designers in collaborative assembly tasks?”
- Digital Exercise: Create a “pick and place” procedure using grasshopper.
Day 2
- Techinical induction surrounding using Microsoft Hololens 2.
- Demo: Getting participants to try different AR interactive features that offered by Microsoft Hololens 2.
- Digital Exercise: Download Fologram to participants’ workstations.
- Digital Exercise: Create a virtual widget that can be used to establish robot waypoints.
- Digital Exercise: Create a virtual button to send robot command to cooperative robotic arm, UR10.
- Group Discussion: How AR could be used to facilitate bi-directional communication between architectural designers and cooperative robotic arm?
Day 3
- Group Discussion: Explode different design briefs.
- Hands-on Exercise: Get acquainted with the developed AR-enabled HRC system.
- Hands-on Exercise: Construct lightweight structured using the developed AR-enabled HRC system alongside with UR10.
- Group Discussion: Reflecting of the construction process as well as the developed AR-enabled HRC system.
- Closing remark.
Requirements
Installation
- We use Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper to communicate with the cooperative robotic arm, UR10.
- We use grasshopper plugin such as “Robot” to establish connection with the UR10, and Fologram plugin to establish a mixed reality platform.
