“…The essence of this method is the interaction of the operator with elements of the virtual environment. Its aim is to replace humans with robots in tasks whose formal description is complex [6][7][8]. It is usually used in cases where the sequence of movements needed to perform a given task has been experimentally selected by the operator using the method of multiple trials and on the basis of many years of experience.…”

This paper presents the use of a laser tracker for programming paths of industrial robots. The idea of operation, application, and the offered accuracy of the laser trackers are discussed. Then, the developed method of using a tracker for determining the path points of an industrial robot is presented. The requirements related to the developed method are indicated. The parameters of the industrial robot related to the repeatability and accuracy of the robots and the Absolute Accuracy option—increasing the accuracy—are characterized. The developed method is based on the accuracy of robots and the conversion of the position and orientation of individual coordinate systems. In the developed method, the robot is not used during programming and the programmer indicates the path points with the help of a retroreflector. The algorithm, which is the most important part of the developed method, has been implemented in the Rapid programming language to automate the programming process. This article provides an example of the use of the developed method to program the robot path during the grinding process. The advantages of the developed method are characterized and compared to existing solutions. In addition, the limitations and achieved accuracies are indicated.

“…The increasing adoption of augmented and virtual reality, simulation, and the socalled "natural user interfaces" allows for better human-machine interaction and system interface. The development of collaboration-oriented avatars [49], [50] adoption of gaming mechanisms, and remote interaction with resources also contribute to improving the user experience and establishing more effective interaction among network members.…”

The last two decades have witnessed considerable boost in emergence of a networked society, reflecting the increasing growth in hyperconnectivity among the organizations, people, smart machines, and intelligent systems. This trend was enabled by advances in ICT and more specifically in computer networking. In this context, new forms of coworking and collaboration in networks, composed of distributed, autonomous, and heterogeneous entities have emerged, which first led to the formation of Collaborative Networks (CN) as a new discipline, and then followed by series of milestones leading to its gradual evolution.Nowadays CNs play a key role in the ongoing process of digital transformation in industry and services. Although it is relatively young, a number of "generations" can be identified through the last decades for the CN discipline.We are now at the beginning of what can be identified as the Collaborative Networks 4.0, characterized by features such as: hybridization in CNs, collaboration between humans and intelligent autonomous systems, collaborative distributed cognitive systems, reflecting on collaborative accountability, handling ethics and coping with risks and disruptions faced in CNs, managing large amounts of collaborative data, monetization of collaboration, creating a collaboration culture, supporting collaboration creativity, handling mass collaboration, and supporting collaborative value creation through new business models, among others.The IFIP WG 5.5, through its annual conference the PRO-VE, which is now in its 21st edition, has played a determinant role, along these two decades. It has contributed to shaping, promoting, and extending the CN research and development community and its practices; thus, consolidating this area, and identifying and introducing new directions and preserving it as an active research agenda.

“…In recent years, the use of virtual reality and digital twins covers increasingly wider areas of engineering. In robotics, for example, they are robotic station simulators used to train operators [21][22][23] or for design of robotic stations [24]. Another area of application of modern techniques is the issue of human-robot collaboration.…”

The article presents a method of programming robots using virtual reality and digital twins. The virtual environment is a digital twin of a robotic station, built based on CAD models of existing station elements. The virtual reality system is used to record human movements in a virtual environment, which are then reproduced by a real robot. The method developed is dedicated mainly to such situations in which it is necessary for the robot to reproduce the movements of a human performing a process that is complicated from the point of view of robotization. An example of using the method for programming a robot implementing the process of cleaning ceramic casting moulds is presented.
