This thesis is focusing on the development of a worker assistant system. The system features an abstract representation of work plans, a component for detecting the workflow of the worker and a display unit for presenting operating instructions. The developed assistant system is capable of supporting a worker in his assembly task.
First, an overview about relevant aspects of industrial production is given. The developed rule-based approach for defining workplans is explained within a sample implementation.
Afterwards, two approaches for detecting the workers workflow are presented. These include the analysis of 3D-features using state machines, as well as a statistical analysis of 2D-motion flow vectors. Each approach is evaluated in user trials.
The third part is focused on two concepts for the presentation of operating instructions during a manual assembly task. Each concept is evaluated in user trials and the results are discussed.
The thesis concludes with a summary of the developed concepts and integrated components as well as the results of the experiments. Finally, an outlook is given.
