DFKI and Hitachi jointly develop AI technology for human activity recognition of workers using wearable devices
Workflow of human activity recognition
German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and Hitachi today announced the joint development of AI technology for human activity recongnition of workers using wearable devices. The AI technology performs real-time recognition of workers' activities by integrating technology in eye-tracking glasses to recognize gazed objects with technology in armband devices to recognize action.
The recognition ability of each activity is achieved by having the AI understand the tools or parts used at the production site as well as anticipated actions through Deep Learning. DFKI and Hitachi will use this newly developed AI technology to assist operations and prevent human error, to contribute to enhancing quality and efficiency on the front line of manufacturing.
