The objective of the VIVA (the Virtual Vehicle Assembler) project is to perform research and development actions to provide Swedish vehicle industry with an efficient and usable ergonomics simulation (digital human modelling) tool. The tool will support engineers to, already at early stages of design and development processes, make more precise decisions about operators' ergonomics conditions in future workstations.
The project proposal addresses four main research and development challenges:
- simple and efficient muscle modelling
- human-robot collaboration verification considering safety, ergonomics and productivity
- body shapes and appearance of human models that represent actual human diversity'
- manipulation of manikins, and visualisation of simulation and assessment results
The demonstrator software developed within the project will be based on the Swedish IPS IMMA DHM tool platform.
