AR-supported Human-Robot Collaboration: Facilitating Workspace Awareness and Parallelized Assembly Tasks

Abstract

Figure 1: We present an AR-based assistant for collaboration in an assembly task between a (A) robot and (B) human operator in a joint workspace (left). We therefore present situated robot status information (e.g., movement path (C)) and task-related details (e.g., building instructions (D)) (right). Note: The path visualization and user's virtual hand are enhanced for better visibility in print.
