Focus on employees: How avatars can strengthen human-cobot collaboration

From Aug. 28-29, our colleagues  Stina Klein, Matthias Kraus, Pooja Prajod, and Katharina Weitz welcomed employees from Ford-Werke GmbH and robot manufacturer KUKA at the AI Production Network at the University of Augsburg. The goal of the 2-day workshop was to exchange practical experiences in using cobots in production. The highlight was the test of our cobot-avatar team. The demonstrator was created as part of the EU research project MindBot. MindBot investigates methods to promote mental health when working with cobots.
