Airbus wants to get up close and personal with the workers assembling its aircraft.
The company is seeking to patent a system for "cognitive assistance" in the manual assembly of an aircraft. Here's how it works: Sensors, such as cameras, EEGs and eye tracking tech, monitor physical and physiological data on a worker that's assembling an aircraft. That data is continuously fed to a "cognitive model," which makes real-time predictions of that person's expected behavior during the aircraft assembly process.
