Watch your ghost teach a robot how to tag-team
For those manufacturing jobs where humans have an edge, Purdue University engineers have introduced “GhostX:” An augmented reality platform that turns the user and robot into “ghosts.” The user can then plan out how to collaborate with the robot and work out kinks before actually performing a task.
The technology solves a big engineering conundrum: For humans and robots to truly collaborate, they would have to know exactly what each other is doing.
