The Sitronics KT company, part of the Sitronics Group, will develop a training simulator based on virtual reality technology for the training of machinists and service specialists of special equipment, including self-propelled earthmoving machines (bulldozers) on caterpillar tracks.
The simulator of the CHETRA T20.02K bulldozer is based on a real cabin and is designed to teach the basics of controlling equipment, obtaining initial tactile and visual control skills. In addition, it will help to practice the skills of identifying and troubleshooting. During the training process, errors will be automatically recorded and statistical results will be generated.
The VR simulator is being developed by Sitronics KT specialists within the framework of the concluded supply contract for the training center, where specialists of operating and servicing organizations are trained in the design, management and repair of CHETRA equipment.
For maximum compliance with the conditions of real work, the simulator will be equipped with a VR helmet and hand motion capture controllers with tactile feedback. The cab is equipped with all levers, pedals and devices that are installed in the cab of the CHETRA T20.02K bulldozer. The sounds of a working bulldozer are reproduced in the cabin. The training is managed from a specialized instructor's place.
"Previously, we developed and produced a bulldozer simulator based on a mobility system with a full-fledged original cabin. We are glad to continue working with the company CHETRA, especially this time we are talking about the introduction of new technologies to increase involvement in the learning process. Truly high—quality and comfortable simulators are obtained only with the close cooperation of the equipment manufacturer and developers," commented Evgeny Shishenin, Director of Development at Sitronics KT.
