Use of projector based augmented reality to improve manual spot-welding precision and accuracy for automotive manufacturing

A Concept for the Application of Augmented Reality in Manual Gas Metal Arc Welding

1 Supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (bmb+f) Abstract The large problem to create manual welds of constant high quality results from missing optical information during the actual welding process. Due to the extreme brightness conditions in arc welding and the use of protective glasses, even experienced welders can hardly recognize details of the welding process a...

Robot Path Optimization for Spot Welding Applications in Automotive Industry

Preliminary notes The paper discusses the problem of effective motion planning for industrial robots. The first part deals with current method for off-line path planning. In the second part is presented the work done with one of the simulation systems with automatic trajectory generation and off-line programming capability. A spot welding process is involved. The practical application of this s...

Projector Phones: A New Class of Interfaces for Augmented Reality

With the miniaturization of projection technology, the integration of tiny projection units into mobile devices is no longer fiction; therefore, such integrated projectors in mobile devices could make mobile projection ubiquitous. These phones will have the ability to project large-scale information onto any surfaces in the real world, and by doing so, the interaction space of the mobile device...
