Virtual reality helps robots in construction
Oct 29
Researchers at the USC Viterbi Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) use virtual reality (VR) trainings to teach construction professionals to team with robots to do their jobs more safely and efficiently. These VR trainings aim to provide an efficient, low-cost and scalable way to smooth transitions and ease fear of integrating technology into a traditional industry. When designing the VLE modules, the team focused on creating dynamic spaces that allow for multiple forms of interaction, similar to a real construction site. At the same time, they integrated elements such as uneven surfaces, dust and shadows that would regularly impact safety and operating procedures in a real-life construction setting.
