REMAR

The REMAR project consists of the creation of adaptive intelligent simulators in Extended Reality for the improvement of High Risk Maintenance processes.

This project includes five Extended Reality simulators (TRL7) with near-realistic visual quality, fully functional for training in the maintenance of complex, high-risk machinery. The simulators include machine tools such as milling machines and wind turbines, covering part of the needs of key manufacturing sectors such as metal mechanics, plastics processing or power generation.

The REMAR project consists of the creation of adaptive intelligent simulators in Extended Reality for the improvement of High Risk Maintenance processes, with a special emphasis is placed on occupational risk prevention.

The main objective of this project is the training of industrial workers in the management of complex industrial situations where clear risks are present.

The simulators are structured in levels of increasing difficulty to allow training of both novice and professional operators. These simulators focus on developing the technical skills needed to perform preventive and corrective maintenance tasks and on improving the necessary psychosocial skills (teamwork, pressure and anxiety management, etc.). They are also adapted to the user’s learning pace and to possible risk patterns and their consequences.

The virtual environment of the simulators is collaborative, allowing up to 3 technicians to interact in different physical locations, in addition to the presence of managers to evaluate the performance of the personnel in real time. The simulators adapt in real time to the behaviour of each user and are equipped with sensors for physiological signals such as: heart rate, eye tracking, perspiration levels… The information collected allows the system to modify predefined parameters: the level of detail of the information provided to the technician, the difficulty of the task, the time limit or the exposure to risk situations.

The REMAR project is coordinated by Nicolás Correa S.A., a leading Spanish company in the manufacture of large milling machines. Also involved is an SME, Adventis Solutions, a company specialising in the maintenance of wind turbines at international level and in industrial maintenance training, and the University of Burgos, which has two research groups with expertise in artificial intelligence, augmented reality and the psychology of learning, acting as technical coordinator.
