Human-robot interaction in Kassel
Optical motion tracking in the University of Kassel HRI lab — ergonomics, teleoperation of mobile robots and drones, and AR-assisted control.
Human-machine systems engineering
At the University of Kassel, the Human-Machine Systems Engineering department researches user-centered configurations of effective human-robot systems — interdisciplinary and application-driven.
Tracking setup
The tracking volume (approx. 3.5 × 3.5 × 2.8 m) was implemented with multiple ART cameras, enabling precise real-time localization of real objects.
Applications
- Ergonomics: Full motion capture target set for posture and movement analysis with RAMSIS and AnyBody
- AR control: Head-mounted display position via passive hand target — control of a stereo camera system on a teleoperated mobile robot
- Gesture control: Finger tracking for teleoperation of drones and mobile robots
Why ART?
Complete tracking package from a single source — cameras, body, head, and finger tracking with the precision and stability required for ergonomic studies and robotics applications.
