Multimodal Warehouse Project

Abstract

In this chapter, we present the Multimodal Warehouse Project, which aimed at applying multimodal interaction to a warehouse picking process. We provide an overview of the warehouse picking procedure as well as the overall architecture of the multimodal picking application and technologies applied to design the application. Furthermore, we describe the execution of user tests of the picking application at a warehouse and present the results of these tests. In this way, the authors hope to provide the reader with a better understanding of how multimodal systems can be built and the opportunities as well as the challenges of applying multimodal technology to real-world application scenarios.
