Education and Culture “CyberLab”Göteborg Meeting “Distance laboratory training by interactive ergonomic video-conferencing” Alexander Kaplan Luleå University of Technology Project Coordinator
Distant Laboratory Experiments Advanced Video-Conferencing Outstanding, Unique Equipment Interested user Instructions Observation Experiment Results, Analysis Communication Pay for Service
Interactive Levels Lab-Video Conferencing Level of Sophistication
Phase i: CyberLab Development Identify the characteristic elements of lab training Identify the human behaviour Distinguish between general and lab type-dependent Create concepts for replacement by video-conferencing Detailed planning of possible concepts (equipment, etc.) Selectionof the concepts and lab experiments
Original idea: Three methods Nottingham U: Portable camera – operator communication Twente U: Remote camera(s) – drives, zoom Budapest TU: Remote microscope – drives, magnification Abandoned: Remote robot camera – robot manipulation Are there other more promising concepts?
Interaction during lab training Trainee Trainee Team Teacher and Operator Laboratory and Experiment
Cases to distinguish Manual Audio Visual Digital A: Pure communication between 2 persons B: Pure communication in a team > 2 C: Communication incl. whiteboard, documents, samples D: Observing a lab facility E: Mounting or adjusting of hardware F: Programming via PC or control panel G: Handling samples (preparing, fixturing, observing) H: Executing and observing motion I: Observing a radiating process J: Observing monitors and displays on-line K: PC post-analysis (e.g. of sensor signals) L: Microscopy (positioning, handling, observation, zoom)
Typical lab training: elements, interaction C C D B C D E F G H I J C K L B C K
Object size, distance, angle of view A: 2 persons communication B: Team communication Rotation, Zoom, Handling C: Document communication
