A defect visualization system includes an augmented reality display system to display an image representing a defect, such as missing metal, in a ferromagnetic material when a user gazes at a portion of the ferromagnetic material hosting the defect, based on magnetic field data provide by a magnetometry system, thereby facilitating locating the defect and replacing magnetometers after the defect has been repaired, even if location references originally present on cladding material are lost or destroyed during the repair.

A display system which has: a display device configured to be able to display an image superimposed on a reality space; and a managing device configured to manage the image the display device displays, wherein the display device has a display processor configured to read at least one of a qualified image and a disqualified image for an inspection target existing in the reality space from a memory and to display the read image superimposed on the reality space seen through an optical see-through displayer, on the displayer.

A data collection system that performs data collection of human-driven robot actions for robot learning. The data collection system includes: i) a wearable computation subsystem that is worn by a human data collector and that controls the data collection process and ii) a human-machine operation interface subsystem that allows the human data collector to use the human-machine operation interface to operate an attached robotic gripper to perform one or more actions. A user interface subsystem receives instructions from the wearable computation subsystem that direct the human data collector to perform the one or more actions using the human-machine operation interface subsystem. A visual sensing subsystem includes one or more cameras that collect raw visual data related to the pose and movement of the robotic gripper while performing the one or more actions. A data collection subsystem receives collected data related to the one or more actions.

An augmented reality simulation device includes: extension information display means for displaying a virtual object; relation information acquisition means for acquiring first relation information which is information that specifies relation between the virtual object and control axes of a numerical controller and second relation information which is information that specifies settings of the control axes and relation between the control axes; conversion means for converting a movement amount in a first coordinate system which is a coordinate system of the control axis to movement information in a second coordinate system which is a coordinate system for allowing the extension information display means to display the virtual object on the basis of the first relation information and the second relation information; and calculation means for calculating a display position and a display angle of the virtual object based on the movement information in the second coordinate system after the conversion.

A system (1) for the virtual assistance of an operator of a processing apparatus (B1, B2, B3) for processing workpieces (W) which preferably consist at least in sections of wood, wood materials, synthetic material or the like, comprising: a mobile terminal device (10) which is configured to be worn by the operator, and that has: position detection means (11) which are configured to detect data for determining the position of the mobile terminal device (10) in relation to the processing apparatus (B1, B2, B3), information output means (12) which are configured to output information and/or operational instructions to the operator, and a preferably wireless data transmission interface (13) which is configured to communicate with a data server (20).

A robot remote operation control device includes, in robot remote operation control for an operator to remotely operate a robot capable of gripping an object, an information acquisition unit that acquires operator state information on a state of the operator who operates the robot, an intention estimation unit that estimates a motion intention of the operator who causes the robot to perform a motion, on the basis of the operator state information, and a gripping method determination unit that determines a gripping method for the object on the basis of the estimated motion intention of the operator.

A method for training and/or testing a robot control module. The method includes generating an instruction specified by a robot control module configured for robot training and/or testing, the instruction indicating how a human-driven robot task is to be performed when training and/or testing the robot control module; providing the instruction to a mixed reality device worn by a human data collector, the mixed device rendering the instruction in a manner that shows the human data collector how to perform the human-driven robot task; collecting performance data and environmental data in response to the human data collector attempting to perform the human-driven robot task using the data collection device; receiving feedback data in response to the human data collector attempting to perform the human-driven robot task specified by the instruction; and updating the robot control module using the feedback data and the collected performance and environmental data.

Convenience and usefulness of a tele-existence system are enhanced taking notice of the possibility by collaboration of tele-existence and a head-mounted display apparatus. A movable member is supported for pivotal motion on a housing (20). In the housing, a driving motor and a transmission member for transmitting rotation of the driving motor to the movable member are provided. A state information acquisition unit acquires facial expression information and/or emotion information of a user who wears a head-mounted display apparatus (100). A driving controlling unit controls rotation of the driving motor on the basis of the facial expression information and/or the emotion information.
