TLDR
A prototype of a mobile AR application to deliver lessons for training in robotic automation for construction industry workers is demonstrated and the goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of the AR application by gauging participants’ performance using pre and post surveys.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.read more

Teaching Robotics with Virtual Reality: Developing Curriculum for the 21st Century Workforce.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the development of an AI-powered VR learning environment for teaching fundamentals of robotics, discuss the curriculum and assessment tools they have developed for in-person workshops and VR environment training, and present their aspirations for the further development of this educational tool.
Teaching Construction Robotics for Higher Education Students: “Imagine and Make”
TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a novel method that is called "Imagine and Make" in which students learn how to integrate robotics in different aspects and practices in construction projects, which has been applied at Centrale Lille in France since 2018.

A cyber-physical educational game of Petanca. Petan-Camins
TL;DR: The Petan-Camins educational game as discussed by the authors is based on the traditional Mediterranean game Petanca and players inherit identical rules, but the difference between the Petanca game and the game in this game comes after the game and players must use computational geometry tools for answering manifold geometrical questions.

Virtual reality
C. Machover,S.E. Tice +1 more
TL;DR: Evolving from user interface design, flight and visual simulation, and telepresence technologies, VR is unique in its emphasis on the experience of the human participant, and neither the devices used nor the level of interactiveness or fidelity determine whether a system is VR.
