Work Packages

WP1: Project Management

Project management and coordination activities to facilitate communication between partners and the execution of the project.

Responsible: SDU

WP2: Teleoperation System

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

WP3: Human-Robot Symbiosis

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

WP4: Wearable Haptics

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

WP5: Extended Reality

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

WP6: Skill Learning and Transfer

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

WP7: Detailed Use Cases and System Integrations

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.
