“…This flexibility means that the AR tools should be easily reusable to adapt to different devices and procedures with little effort. The solution to this issue could be the standardization of the patterns to be recognized by the system, like the unique identifiers proposed in [38], and the implementation of authoring tools that allow facilities to create their own AR applications without the need of dealing with low-level AR programming.…”

In the last decade, Augmented Reality (AR) has been one of the emerging technologies that have been in the centre of attention among academics and business practitioners. Despite the numerous studies which have demonstrated the multitude of benefits derived from AR applications, the technology has not reached yet its full potential due to various bottlenecks which are preventing it from becoming the mainstream technology that many have anticipated. In this paper, we first present briefly the history of AR followed by the evolution of related software algorithms and hardware devices. The main contribution of this paper is the overview of the drivers and challenges related to the adoption and diffusion of AR across five major application domains; (a) industry and military, (b) training and education, (c) travel and tourism, (d) medicine and health care and (e) retail and marketing. Such overview facilitates especially a cross-domain comparison, which here enabled us to identify a list of five drivers and five bottlenecks in the adoption of the current AR technology.

“…Why they have imposed today these models of robots (after tens of years of diversity was the word of order); may and of the need for standardization (Martińez, 2013), or to find a common solution, after a huge portion (however are not yet the only robots use of category serial, but they also have the widest spread) (Park, 2013).…”

The paper presents an original geometrical and kinematic method for the study of geometry and determining positions of a MP-3R structure of the anthropomorphic robots. It presents shortly the MP-3R direct and inverse kinematics, the inverse kinematics being solved by an original exactly method. One presents shortly an original method to solve the robot inverse kinematics exemplified at the 3R-Robots (MP-3R). The system which must be solved has three equations and three independent parameters to determine. Constructive basis is represented by a robot with three degrees of freedom (a robot with three axes of rotation). If we study (analyze) an anthropomorphic robot with three axes of rotation (which represents the main movements, absolutely necessary), we already have a base system, on which we can then add other movements (secondary, additional). Calculations were arranged and in the matrix form. The most commonly used serial structures over the last 20 or 30 years are those of type 3R, 4R, 5R, 6R, having as constituents essential basic kinematic chain 3R, robot anthropomorphic (RRR), where main rotation around a vertical axis, causes the construction. It can thus passes from the study spatial movement, which is more difficult, to the study motion plane, basic movement, for all the robots and fillers serial movements of rotation. Moving flat, horizontal or vertical, shall be undertaken far more easily than the spatial integration with the convenience simple in the space of which it is part. We will exemplify the basic structure existing in a few serial platforms of rotation, these being the most generalized (more widespread) at the present time. In this work will be pursued and the direct and inverse kinematics of these mechanical systems. It can make the transition from 3R systems-level 2R and vice versa.

“…The goal is that through the use of an intuitive interface, every user, regardless his/her programming skills, is able to develop AR applications that will make use of the AR engine. Moreover, a database and a new AR marker approach [15] have been also included in the platform to allow the flexibility and coexistence between AR applications.…”

“…The first type of marker is a 2D barcode marker, which is a traditional approach in AR applications. The second type of marker is a novel marker approach that has been designed for the proposed platform [15]. This novel approach consists of a hybrid marker that uses 2D barcode markers together with a text coding system.…”

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that has gained an increasing interest during last years. Several fields (e.g. maintenance and education) have already started to integrate AR systems in their procedures. The preliminary results obtained from those works show a promising future for the technology. However, the number of tools that allow non-programmers to create new applications is still limited. Moreover, the great majority of these tools have still some limitations in terms of flexibility and reusability. The purpose of the platform presented in this paper is to face those problems and provide new means of AR application development. The main target of the platform is to serve as a unified system for aiding operators in the maintenance procedures in large scientific facilities. However, an important goal is that the platform can be flexible enough so it can be adapted to other fields. In order to demonstrate this flexibility, the platform has been also used to develop educational applications and a commercial educational platform.
