“PIMAN:
Pôle de compétence en Inspection et Maintenance Assistée par
langage Naturel” |
Context
PIMAN is a research project, partially financed by the IRSIB (Institute
for the Encouragement of Scientific Research and Innovation in the
Brussels Region).
Its principal focus is the development of tools and methods in the
field of Maintenance and Inspection. It groups
3 companies, each leader in its own domain, and a research institution.
The objective is thereby to create a pole of complementary competences.
The PIMAN project
The main aim of the PIMAN project is to develop tools and methods
that assist an operator in the execution of his/her tasks in the
field of Maintenance and Inspection. Specific focus
is put on up-to-date information access, assisted data capture,
automated positioning, multi-media support, natural language interaction
and natural behavior in simulation.
The project is really innovative, since it uses several advanced
technologies in a totally new context.
Budgets & Duration
The PIMAN project extends over 24 months. Its total budget is k€
1.104,36.
