Work Plan
Phase i: CyberLab Development
Identify the characteristic elements of lab trainingIdentify the human behaviour
Distinguish between general and lab type-dependent
Create concepts for replacement by video-conferencingDetailed planning of possible concepts (equipment, etc.)Selection of the concepts and lab experiments
Original idea: Three methods
Nottingham U: Portable camera – operator communicationTwente U: Remote camera(s) – drives, zoomBudapest TU: Remote microscope – drives, magnification
Abandoned: Remote robot camera – robot manipulation
Are there other more promising concepts?
Interaction during lab training

Typical lab training: elements, interaction
Cases to distinguishA: Pure communication between 2 personsB: Pure communication in a team > 2C: Communication incl. whiteboard, documents, samplesD: Observing a lab facilityE: Mounting or adjusting of hardwareF: Programming via PC or control panelG: Handling samples (preparing, fixturing, observing)H: Executing and observing motionI: Observing a radiating processJ: Observing monitors and displays on-lineK: PC post-analysis (e.g. of sensor signals)L: Microscopy (positioning, handling, observation, zoom)
