WIP: Development of a Design Framework for the Provision of Multimodal Content in an AR-based Training System for the Acquisition of Psychomotor Skills

Augmented reality is a promising technology for vocational training of assembly processes in industry. A field that has received little attention is the application in collaborative assembly, where humans and robots work closely together. Working with a robot increases the complexity of the assembly process and therefore requires effective training. The MILKY-PSY project will investigate, among other aspects, how such immersive training can be implemented for training in collaborative assembly. The development follows the design-based research approach in order to involve the potential user in the early stage. In this work the results of the analysis phase, from three interdisciplinary workshops, are presented. This includes the identification of a specific assembly process, the definition of a training procedure, and the technological requirements for developing such an application. Another important point is the collection of information that should be provided to the trainee for motivated and successful learning. This information can be divided into two categories. Firstly, information that is necessary to complete the specific task and secondly, information that is not directly related to the task but is useful for understanding the task or increasing motivation. These results serve as the basis for a proposed design framework for AR-based training in collaborative assembly presented in this work.
