On 10 July, the project partners and sponsors of the BMBF project "Audiovisual support through a cognitive and mobile assistance system for the modern world of work" (AVIKOM), initiated in May, will meet for a kick-off meeting. Together with colleagues from the Work and Organisational Psychology department, the Institute for System Dynamics and Mechatronics (ISymM) at the FH Bielefeld, 5 local companies and 4 associated partners, the Neurocognition and Action research group is developing a mobile and intelligent assistance system tailored to the individual user's needs. By providing visual and acoustic feedback, the system will support the employees of the project partners in their daily work in the areas of service, intralogistics, maintenance, assembly, as well as in the acquisition of competence.

Am 10. Juli treffen sich die Projektpartner und -träger des im Mai initiierten BMBF-Projektes "Audiovisuelle Unterstützung durch ein kognitives und mobiles Assistenzsystem für die moderne Arbeitswelt" (AVIKOM) zum Kick-Off-Treffen. Zusammen mit den Kollegen aus der Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie, dem Institut für Systemdynamik und Mechatronik (ISymM) der FH Bielefeld, 5 lokalen Wirtschaftsunternehmen und 4 weiteren assozierten Partnern entwickelt die Arbeitsgruppe Neurokognition und Bewegung ein mobiles, intelligentes und auf individuelle Bedürfnisse zugeschnittenes Assistenzsystem. Dieses System wird die Mitarbeiter der Projektpartner bei Arbeiten im Servicebereich, der Intralogistik, Instandhaltung, Montage, sowie beim Kompetenzerwerb unterstützen und bei Bedarf visuelle und akustische Hilfestellung leisten.
