"Remote Handling Study Centre supporting maintenance of ITER"
The first presentation is about the Remote Handling Study Centre for training technical engineers for the maintenance of the ITER nuclear fusion reactor. This maintenance is done by a remote controlled robot arm. By using virtual reality, haptic interfaces, shared control, interfaces integration, hardware tests and remote human operations, efficiency and robustness can be achieved in a non-human environment. This topic not only gives an interesting view on user interface, but is also a very current topic since the nuclear calamity in Japan. It lays the emphasize on how much there is to gain by creating the right connection between humans and robots.
In the lunch break there will be a demonstration about this lecture.
