The construction industry is rapidly evolving with the integration of advanced robotics. To ensure that union workers remain relevant and capable of working alongside these new technologies, this project will develop a comprehensive VR training program. The training will simulate real-world scenarios, allowing workers to gain practical experience in a controlled, risk-free environment. The VR program will cover various aspects of robot operation, safety protocols, collaboration techniques, and troubleshooting. The project aims to demonstrate VR training program designed to enhance the skills of union workers in operating and collaborating with construction robots. Key deliverables include comprehensive training flowcharts, and interactive VR modules covering various aspects of robot operation and safety protocols. A working prototype of the VR training program will be developed. The expected outcomes are an immersive and practical learning experience that improves safety and efficiency in the workforce, along with a detailed report and presentation to showcase the project's development and effectiveness. This initiative promises to create a significant impact on the construction industry by preparing workers for the evolving technological landscape.
