“…3D Live Player contains just a playback of the behaviour management machine as well as the Render Engine. 26 An additional advantage is a series of libraries that can be embedded as needed, some of them being: physics-based behaviour library, Artificial Intelligence behaviour library, Multiple user network, VR behaviour library. Through the latter, Virtools can create file compositions (vmo/cmo) pertaining to more complex VR systems that may run on PC clusters.…”

This paper reports on the construction of a virtual environment on top of a commercially available authoring platform that simulates an industrial robotic arm in pick-andplace movement scenarios. The user interface constructed follows in functionality the well-known teach pendants but exploits just a normal PC keyboard. However, both forward and inverse kinematics is served allowing the user to command movements in either the joint or the tool coordinate system. Perception pertaining to picking and placing movements and in particular the subtle docking positions was enhanced by adding so-called perceptual aids consisting of auxiliary objects with collision detection capabilities. The application was put to test by a group of practitioner-trainees who reported favourably, using a structured questionnaire, on its merits in enhancing their understanding of the robot's capabilities, its kinematics, as well as the task performance strategy. Thus, confidence is increased regarding the ability of Virtual Reality-based platforms to contribute to successful training regarding programming and manipulation of industrial equipment.

“…The interaction layer is to realise networked-driven social interactions among prosumers. Social manufacturing emphasises the proactive and intelligent service matchmaking through the perception of prosumer behaviour (Vosniakos et al, 2015). It relies on SCT to support interaction analysis and evaluation, so as to enable the decisionmaking support in the other three layers.…”

The goal of manufacturing no longer lies in making products in a system level but extends to the systematic processing of information and resources to create more flexible and timely service for mass individualised needs of customers in a global level. As new materials, new technology such as social computing and new configurations for the manufacturer emerge, the distinctions among mechatronics, manufacturing, and service industries become blurred. Consequently, it is expected that the definitions of manufacturing become even broader. This paper presents a novel concept of social intelligence way toward service-oriented manufacturing termed social manufacturing. The social intelligent techniques are introduced as embedding knowledge in the configuration outsourcing and crowdsourcing-oriented social manufacturing for the whole life cycle of mass individualisation process. As a result, the social manufacturing with advanced characteristics such as distributed, intelligent, and self-organisation is developed in which a novel approach for enabling mass individualised production is proposed.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Jiang, P. and Leng, J.
