POSTED: 08 May, 2023
Welcome to Yuan Liu, our newest PhD Researcher working on the Augmented and Virtual Reality in Collaborative Robotics project, as part of the Designing Socio-technical Robotic Systems program supervised by Glenda Caldwell.
Yuan’s research will investigate co-design and development of immersive visualisation (i.e. augmented reality, virtual reality) approaches to simulate, prototype, and evaluate products and spaces for human-robot collaboration within real-world manufacturing processes and contexts. The benefits of using immersive visualisation approaches will include the ability to evaluate before, during, and after different collaborative robotic settings and necessary manufacturing process and spatial adaptations have been made.
Yuan’s current research interests will focus on multimedia technologies (Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality) and human computer interaction.
Welcome Yuan!
