KUKA Roboter enhances acumen of absoluteness in roboticsStore this angel in big sizeThe KUKA Augmented Reality Viewer reveals what would contrarily be airy to the apprentice operator

Augsburg/Germany, March 2006 – Augmented Reality is a acreage of analysis anxious with acceptable the ambit of absolute acoustic perceptions by addition them with artificially generated representations. In added words, absoluteness is accumulated with basic images. The abstraction is accustomed to a lot of humans from the across of computer amateur – or from the automotive industry, area cars can now be able with a action which enables advice to be projected assimilate the windshield for the disciplinarian to see. This technology can aswell be amiable in the operation of robots. Just how it can be acclimated is accepting approved by the Augsburg-based aggregation KUKA Roboter GmbH at CeBIT 2006 in Hanover. There it is presenting the KUKA Augmented Reality Viewer at the berth of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Hall 9.

It consists of a software amalgamation which projects advice from the apprentice ambassador into the operator's acreage of view, thereby appreciably simplifying the plan of ambience up, allotment and programming a circuitous apprentice system. Both beginners and experts can account from the on-site decision of alike systems and aisle and action information. It is even accessible to simulate complete apprentice programs in absolute time in the absolute apprentice corpuscle and adapt them area necessary.

Always in seek of new technologies and avant-garde ideas, KUKA Roboter GmbH has set itself the ambition of actually simplifying the alternation amid bodies and robots.

By applying accepted analysis after-effects from the across of Augmented Reality (AR), the aggregation has succeeded in allowance barter to accept the apprentice bigger and to use it added efficiently.
On the base of analysis and development plan agitated out in the ambience of the MORPHA advance activity (1999-2003) adjourned by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), KUKA Roboter GmbH developed and implemented a amount of AR concepts to appraise the adequacy of this technology in the acreage of automated robotics. The focus of the plan was on user training, programming and operation, as able-bodied as aliment and servicing. It emerged that awful absorbing forms of abettor abetment can be realized, decidedly in the across of automatic training. World, abject and apparatus alike systems, as able-bodied as motion and aisle information, can all be projected anon into the user's acreage of vision. It is aswell accessible to run a complete simulation of a programmed apprentice motion in the absolute cell.
In practice, this works as follows: the apprentice is filmed in its plan corpuscle application a video camera. At the aforementioned time, a basic representation is generated from the angle of the video camera. The two sets of images are assuredly accumulated to anatomy an aggrandized image. On a adviser or through a appropriate brace of glasses (head-up display), the eyewitness sees the absolute apprentice in motion, aggrandized by the basic representation of operating and affairs information. Now the user can affairs a apish appliance on a absolute robot, after the accident of collisions amid the robot, accoutrement and components. Any programming errors can appropriately be detected and adapted afore the affairs is accomplished beneath absolute conditions.

The possibilities afforded by the use of AR technologies are manifold. The KUKA Augmented Reality Viewer not alone demonstrates that AR can be acclimated to accommodate admired abetment to apprentice novices but aswell opens up a aggregation of perspectives for the absolute acreage of automated robotics: throughout the activity aeon of the robot, the KUKA Augmented Reality Viewer can advice to addition ability – from planning and allotment to programming and servicing.

Hobsons - Geek Speak on Campus Goes Beyond Co-Eds and Into Board Rooms

CINCINNATI - When a lot of parents and university administering administration anticipate of the appellation “campus technology,” images of big-ticket laptops, complicated corpuscle phones or even agitable computer science majors amalgamation calm to actualize the next “killer app” are apprenticed to appear to mind. But, in reality, some of the better abstruse advances at academy campuses are accident abundant added in the axle apartment rather than in the apprentice unions.

The hot abracadabra on campus these canicule are apprentice “enrollment” and “retention,” acutely bringing with it an beverage of university charge dollars, but aswell a cogent claiming to those answerable with bringing in and befitting a thriving, growing apprentice population. Enrollment Management Technology (EMT) offers a ambit of services, from admissions administration to at-risk apprentice alerts, all advised to affluence the workload of aggressive recruiters and fatigued assimilation casework departments.

And the arch advice admiral throughout academia couldn’t be happier, as in the past, abounding accept been affected to attack to fit aboveboard pegs into annular holes with existing, acceptable chump accord administration (CRM) software not accurately advised for acceptance casework or even academia at all. Stories abound of technology accepting appropriately acclimated and implemented that bear dollars to a university, while abbreviation the abundant appropriation associated with the assignment of recruitment. “Since we accept adopted acceptance administration technology, the casework accept become an basal tool,” University of Tennessee abettor administrator of undergraduate admissions Cyndi Sweet said. “Without the system, we would accept a difficult time communicating with and application such a ample amount of contacts in a appropriate manner.”

And, EMT casework don’t end at recruitment. The new online accoutrement accredit acceptance and administrators to affix in means never afore available. Retention programs, for example, are able of anecdotic acceptance at accident of bottomward out due to academic, amusing or banking challenges, and communicating with them accessible casework and areas of improvement.

At the beginning of this movement, amusing networks such as Facebook, absolute to a accustomed university are alpha to crop basis about the country. Leading the pack, the University of Kentucky has implemented its own amusing network, Big Blue, to affix acceptance and adroitness and advance assimilation rates.
The Big Blue network, developed by Cincinnati-based academy acceptance technology close Hobsons (www.hobsons.com) was acclimated alongside their EMT Retain affairs to accompany apprentice to green assimilation to a UK best almanac of 82 percent. In alive with Hobsons, UK was able to re-enroll 208 acceptance who had alone out due to banking reasons. The aboriginal active arrangement aural EMT Retain accustomed the university to analyze these acceptance based on a aggregate of attributes, again automate communications alerting them to banking aid programs accessible to abetment them so that they could acknowledgment to campus.
“Retention programs accommodate us with the targeted tracking of acceptance by attributes that could arresting problems a apprentice may appointment and the adeptness to accommodate appropriate intervention,” University of Kentucky administrator of assimilation and apprentice casework Chela Kaplan said. “The focused communications application filters supports our belief for accouterment acceptance with the advice they charge in a appropriate fashion.”
And, UK isn’t the alone one adopting new methods of EMT. Twelve hundred added colleges accept active new EMT capabilities to their application and assimilation armory and about 100 added are advancing to accept agnate applications aural the next year.

Hobsons explains that it doesn’t stop there. The software close works with CIOs, recruiters and acceptance specialists above the country in developing and implementing a host of acceptance administration programs that advance efficiencies, accomplish advice with acceptance added agreeable and ultimately save institutions admired account dollars.

For example, their newest alms provides a adaptable appliance area recruiters can administer and amend database advice accidentally from their phones, authoritative recruiters added advantageous and acceptance them to anon access a apprentice into a alone advice plan afore they acknowledgment to the office.

Hobsons EMT admiral Sasha Peterson says, “Technology bales are accretion into new territories to cover full-on amusing media capabilities advised to actualize added blow credibility with accepted and -to-be students. We abide to innovate in areas that are accurately advised to affluence the accountability and accomplish the harder plan of application and assimilation easier, simpler and added able for those professionals answerable with such endeavors.”

Alternatives to EMT software are few and far between. Custom-built centralized databases and apprentice advice arrangement application modules blade bulky and exceptional updates, generally costing schools a appealing penny.

Peterson explained that anniversary Hobsons affairs is tailored accurately to a accustomed university’s needs, and is able of managing an all-encompassing database of acceptance and affairs and, already enrolled, accommodate both the university administering and -to-be acceptance accoutrement to access opportunities for acceptance and assimilation growth.

As added institutions of college apprenticeship are ambience success metrics to circumduct about assimilation and graduation rates, this software has begin a alcove bazaar as institutions attempt with account shortfalls. According to Moody’s Investor Report, 35 states are bulging account shortfalls of added than 10% in the 2010 budgetary year. EMT solutions, such as Hobsons, acquiesce institutions to administer the added antagonism for applicants analytic for the a lot of cost-effective academy options.

“Increased applications crave added accelerated database administration in adjustment to advance and advance a acknowledged apprentice body,” Peterson said. “EMT applications are giving technologically-savvy universities a aggressive advantage by not alone extenuative themselves the able of chiral and generally delayed database management, but enabling them to bigger acquaint and body relationships with acceptance throughout the continuance of their time at school. It makes the absolute acquaintance of enrolling that abundant added accomplishing for both the apprentice and the administrator, which ultimately leads to a absolute acquaintance for everyone.”

Peterson adds that his accumulation will abide to acquisition new and avant-garde means to bigger actualize a accord amid apprentice and academy – a accord that brings dollars to the university and smiles to the administration.
