Design, programming and orchestration of heterogeneous manufacturing systems through VR-powered remote collaboration
چکیده انگلیسی


• The paper identifies the synergies of recent advances in Future Internet and ICT.
• Surveys the need of high-fidelity virtual collaboration for industrial robotics.
• Introduces the VirCA platform as a remote collaboration and orchestration framework.
• Shows the integration of ontologies and CogInfoCom methods into industrial setups.
• Presents use case examples of knowledge-driven automation scenarios based on VirCA.

Modern manufacturing systems are often composed of a variety of highly customized units and specifically designed manufacturing cells. Optimization of assembly and training of staff requires a series of demo installations and excessive use of costly operational resources. In some cases, components are located at different sites, making the orchestration of the whole system even more difficult.Virtual Reality (VR) collaboration environments offer a solution by enabling high fidelity testing and training of complex manufacturing systems. On the other hand, such platforms are difficult to implement in an engineering perspective, as they are required to provide reliable, standard interfaces towards both robotic components and human operators.The VirCA (Virtual Collaboration Arena) platform is a software framework that supports various means of collaboration through the use of 3D augmented/virtual reality as a communication medium. VirCA offers functions for the high-level interoperability of heterogeneous components in a wide range of domains, spanning from research & development, through remote education to orchestration and management of industrial processes in manufacturing applications. This paper provides an overview of the industrial requirements behind high-fidelity virtual collaboration and demonstrates how the VirCA platform meets these requirements. Use cases are provided to illustrate the usability of the platform.
