Symbiotic tEleoperatioN for Safe and cost-efficient wInd turBine bLade maintEnance
Project management and coordination activities to facilitate communication between partners and the execution of the project.
Responsible: SDU
To build an integrated teleoperation hardware platform by making full use of commercially available components and to develop controllers to regulate the teleoperation system in a stable, efficient, and safe way.
Responsible: SDU
To build a symbiotic relationship between the human operator and the teleoperation system so that the two agents can work collaboratively and help each other to solve challenging tasks by considering the safety and ergonomics of the human operator and the capability limitations of the teleoperation system.
Responsible: SDU
To develop a finger-mounted wearable haptic device which enables the operator's fingers to receive the cutaneous feedback reflecting the physical interaction between the remote robot and the blade, and therefore give a sense of delicate touch to the operator.
Responsible: AU
To develop an extended reality system (e.g., VR and AR) that enables the operator to view the remote scene, including the remote robot's current configuration and the condition of the blade surface, thereby improving the operator's telepresence.
Responsible: INP
To develop a skill learning and transfer framework to support three different ways of skill learning and transfer depending on different difficulty levels of tasks, and therefore extract and model the manipulation skills of a skilled and experienced human technician and endow the remote robot with them.
Responsible: SDU
To gradually integrate technology modules into a whole system through three progressive integrations and demonstrate the identified typical maintenance tasks of the wind turbine blade.
