Abstract

Advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Information Technology, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), and Robotic Automation is transforming jobs in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries. However, it is also expected that these technologies will lead to job displacement, alter skill profiles for existing jobs, and change how people work. Therefore, preparing the workforce for an economy defined by these technologies is imperative. This ongoing research focuses on developing an immersive learning training curriculum to prepare the future workforce of the building industry. In this paper we are demonstrating a prototype of a mobile AR application to deliver lessons for training in robotic automation for construction industry workers. The application allows a user to interact with a virtual robot manipulator to learn its basic operations. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of the AR application by gauging participants’ performance using pre and post surveys.

正在进行的工作:为建筑、工程和建筑劳动力的未来提供沉浸式机器人培训

人工智能(AI)、信息技术、增强现实(AR)和虚拟现实(VR)以及机器人自动化的进步正在改变建筑、工程和建筑(AEC)行业的工作岗位。然而，预计这些技术也将导致工作岗位被取代，改变现有工作的技能特征，并改变人们的工作方式。因此，让劳动力为这些技术所定义的经济做好准备势在必行。这项正在进行的研究侧重于开发一种沉浸式学习培训课程，为建筑行业的未来劳动力做好准备。在本文中，我们展示了一个移动增强现实应用程序的原型，为建筑行业工人提供机器人自动化培训课程。该应用程序允许用户与虚拟机器人机械手进行交互，以学习其基本操作。目标是通过使用前后调查来衡量参与者的表现来评估AR应用程序的有效性。
