Augmented Reality meets Industry: Interactive Robot Programming
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of the interfaces which are designed to control or program industrial robots are complex and require special training for the user and the programmer. This complexity alongside the changing environment of small medium enterprises (SMEs) has lead to absence of robots from SMEs. The costs of (re)programming the robots and (re)training the robot users exceed initial costs of installation and are not suitable for such businesses. In order to solve this shortcoming and design more user-friendly industrial robots, we propose a new interface which uses augmented reality (AR) and multimodal human-robot interaction. We show that such an approach allows easier manipulation of robots at industrial environments.

متن کاملAugmented Reality to Teleoperate a Robot through the Web
The system consists of a multirobot architecture that gives access to both, an educational and industrial robot, through the Internet, by using advanced multimedia and distributed programming tools like Java, Java3D and CORBA. The main effort is focused on the user interface that allows specifying a task into a 3D model and sending commands to the real robot once the operator approves them. Thi...
متن کاملOff-line programming of industrial robots using co-located environments
This paper presents a methodology and a prototype system for off-line programming of an industrial robot using augmented reality technology. The system allows to control a virtual model of the industrial robot co-located in the real environment, planning for collision-free paths, generate robot program and simulate the robot actions before the real robot perform the task. The advantage of this ...
