Smart Manufacturing Research Laboratory is a 550 ft2 laboratory dedicated to the research, development, commercialization of advanced manufacturing technologies. The laboratory includes the CNC center with various sensing systems, workstations for mechanical and tribological characterizations, several workstations with personal computers, and multiple tabletops used for prototype assembly and testing. The major equipment and devices are among those available for machining monitoring and human behavior and perception acquisition:

• TRAK LPM vertical CNC milling center with a Modbus-RS485 communication module;

• Tool Monitoring Adaptive Control system, TMAC (x2);

• Tobii Pro Glasses third-generation wearable eye tracker with integrated analysis platform, iMotions;

• Motion tracking system with multiple cameras (GoProx3);

• Virtual reality headset Oculus Quest 2;

• Virtual reality headset HTC VIVE Pro 2;

• Audio recording system including condenser recording microphones, uni-directional dynamic instrument microphones, and Steinberg UR44 USB 2.0 audio interface;

• PC-based data acquisition system;

• One workstation with CPU of Intel-core i7-6700K quad core processor with 4.0 GHz and GPU of Geforce GTX 1080 Ti will be dedicated to process acquired data

The laboratory also includes workstations for mechanical and tribological characterizations, several workstations with personal computers, and multiple tabletops used for prototype assembly and testing.
