Human-Centred Manufacturing: AR/VR Operator Support and Training
Assistant Professor of Digital Manufacturing at University College Dublin
Dublin, Ireland
About
Automation works best when it supports the people on the shop floor. I develop AR/VR and AI tools that guide, train and assist operators, keeping human expertise central as production becomes more automated.
What I can offer to a Doctoral Network:
-
AR/VR-based operator guidance, training and skills transfer
-
AI decision support that presents the right information at the right moment
-
Human-in-the-loop approaches to automated and semi-automated processes
-
Doctoral training that blends manufacturing engineering with human-centred design
Ideal partners: groups in human factors, extended reality, and industrial engineering, and companies investing in workforce upskilling and Industry 5.0 approaches.
