Developing Multimedia Training for robot operators

Abstract

The aim of this project was to develop a multimedia training for robot operators. One problem was that the operators had various prior knowledge with robots and therefore felt unsecure when operating the robot. This has lead to unnecessary damage on the robot which made Metso consider making a Multimedia Training to deal with these problems. In order to carry out the scripts that were supposed to serve as a basis for the training, the technology surrounding the robot as well as different learning theories had to be studied. The project resulted in a finished multimedia training that was implemented in Metso Web Academy together with the rest of the trainings for Metso’s products. The training is supposed to be used to educate current operators as well as presenting the product for potential customers.
