Abstract
The MASTER project introduces an open Extended Reality (XR) platform designed to enhance human-robot collaboration and train workers in robotics within manufacturing settings. It includes modules for creating safe workspaces, intuitive robot programming, and user-friendly human-robot interactions (HRI), including eye-tracking technologies. The development of the platform is supported by two open calls targeting technical SMEs and educational institutes to enhance and test its functionalities. By employing the learning-by-doing methodology and integrating effective teaching principles, the MASTER platform aims to provide a comprehensive learning environment, preparing students and professionals for the complexities of flexible and collaborative manufacturing settings.
