The HumanTech resources
Training
The HumanTech partners have designed and created 10 new training modules based on the project outputs. Each module known as a Micro Learning Unit or MLU can be delivered in less than 60 mins. It is designed to be delivered as a stand alone training module by an expert trainer to a variety of construction roles and abilities. They can be also taken as self directed training by logging on to our eLearning platform coming shortly.
The HumanTech project has identified key areas within the construction sector where digitalisation can add the most value to workers.
These focus areas are:
Digitalisation
Worker safety
Robotic devices equipped with vision and intelligence
Smart, unobtrusive workers' protection and support equipment
A new breed of Dynamic Semantic Digital Twins (DSDTs)
Sustainability
Introduction to the MLUs
The HumaTech Micro Learning Units are currently being piloted and we would be grateful for your feedback. The MLUs can be delivered by a trainer or can be taken as self directed.
Once they are piloted they will be available on a Moodle eLearning platform with guess presenters in numerous languages, where leaners can obtain a digital badge on completion of a Quiz.
Micro learning units

- BIM Uses
ULO
Upon completion of this MLU trainers/trainees will gain and understanding of BIM fundamentals and will therefore be able to apply BIM within their work while understanding the benefits in relation to efficiency, communication, sustainability, health and safety and more.
Module 4
BIM Fundamentals On-Site
Content
- How BIM can be Implemented for Designers and Onsite Workers
- HumanTech Pilot Site Examples
ULO
Upon completion of this MLU trainers/trainees will gain and understanding of BIM fundamentals and will therefore be able to apply BIM within their work while understanding the benefits in relation to efficiency, communication, sustainability, health and safety and more. Tailored to on-site and design and planning workers.
Module 5
BIM Management
Content
- An introduction BIM management
- Common Data Environments (CDE)
- Cloud Coordination (BIM on Cloud)
- International Foundation Class (IFC)
- buildingSMART Data Dictionaries
ULO
Upon completion of this MLU trainers/trainees will gain an understanding of BIM management tools and their application relating to the construction sector and will gain an understanding of buildingSMART Data Dictionaries and the learner should be able to apply this knowledge to their work.
Module 6
Digital Twins
Content
- An introduction to digital twins
- Automated Semantic Digital Twins
- HumanTech pilot examples of Digital Twins on site
ULO
Upon completion of this MLU trainers/trainees will be able to identify the benefits of applying digital twins within the construction sector. The learner will be presented with on-site examples of digital twin application and therefore will understand how these can be applied within their own work.
Module 7
UAV and UGV

- Introduction to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)
- Introduction to Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV)
- Application in the construction sector
- HumanTech pilot examples of UAVs and UGVs on site
ULO
Upon completion of this MLU trainers/trainees will gain an understanding of the benefits and application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV’s) in construction in order to reduce human risk and increase accuracy and efficiency.
Module 8
Extended Reality and Exoskeletons
Content
- Introduction to Extended Reality
- Introduction to Exoskeletons
- HumanTech pilot examples of XR and Exoskeletons on site
ULO
Upon completion of this MLU trainers/trainees will gain an understanding of Extended Reality and its application within the construction sector, specifically for visualising construction projects for health and safety. Trainers/trainees will also gain an understanding of the human benefits to exoskeleton suits, in particular the reduction of repetitive strain injury and similar common on-site construction related injuries.
Module 9
Robotics in Construction
Content
- Introduction to Robotics
- Robotics application within the construction sector
- HumanTech pilot examples of Robotics on site
ULO
Upon completion of this MLU trainers/trainees will gain an understanding of the benefits and application of robotics in construction. Learners will be presented with a pilot example of robotics on-site which will allow them to understand how robotics can be integrated to support the health and safety of workers.
Module 10
Cameras and Mounting on Robotics, Drones, and Wearables
Content
