23-26.01.2012 - Combined integration, project meeting, and data capture at DFKI
The COGNITO consortium met for an extended project meeting at DFKI. The first day was used for integration activities between the different partners. This was followed by an official meeting and a data capture in the industrial environment of SmartFactory.
17.11.2011 - Processed workflow data available
The low-level sensor measurements captured at DFKI in September have now been processed. Higher-level information, such as upper-body, object and hand positions, has been made available for workflow learning and recognition. See video.
08.09.2011 - Workflow data captured with fully-fledged on-body sensor network
Realistic measurement data streams from several on-body IMUs, a Camera-IMU and a Kinect have been collected by team members from Bristol and DFKI. The measurements will now be processed to extract the higher-level information that forms the basis for workflow learning and recognition.
July 2011 - The first COGNITO prototype user evaluation
SmartFactory did in June perform a user evaluation of the COGNITO system prototype. The tests coverede ergonimics, user acceptance, and the capability of the COGNITO concept and prove valuable for insights for the further development in the COGNITO project's second phase.
January 2011 - The on-body sensor network has been upgraded with wireless sensors.
Trivisio has started to deliver the first versions of wireless IMUs to DFKI. These "Colibri Wireless" IMUs replace the wired IMUs in the on-body sensor network, making it less intrusive for the wearer.
05.11.2010 - Workflow data captured with the on-body sensor network.
Team members from Bristol and DFKI together collected realistic measurement data. The measurements will now be processed and then made available to down-stream partners the next couple of month.
August 2010 - First prototype of the on-body sensor network made available to partners.
The first prototype of the COGNITO on-body sensor network has been made available by Trivisio to the project partners. DFKI has received a sensor network comprising four wired "Colibri" IMUs and a Camera-IMU. CCG has received a first prototype head-mounted display for developing the user interaction.
April 2010 - Data collection and first exchange of software
During the next meeting at Bristol, software has been integrated and the first collection of data started. For that we use high-accuracy (expensive) optical tracking system with markers which provide us with first “ground-truth” motion data. The first arm-tracking from DFKI (Augmented Vision) with two intertial sensors from Trivisio have been installed at Bristol.
21.01.2010 - Project launch in Kaiserslautern, Germany
All the partners meet at DFKI over two days to start to define the scientific approach of COGNITO and plan the first common work until the early demonstrator. News sensors & sensor fusion methods, tight coupling with the workflow analysis and the rendering are core topics which will be discussed and explored in this first meeting.
