Augmented Reality for Quick and Intuitive Robotic Packing Re-Programming

Abstract

Current manufacturing applications are subject to constant changes in production orders for their robotic systems to adapt to the dynamic nature of the market. Hence, reprogramming robots needs to be a fast, easy and effective process. In this demonstration, we present an augmented reality (AR) interface using HoloLens. Our interface provides an intuitive platform to re-program a robotic packing application through simple hand gestures and the information gathered by the HoloLens' spatial mapping functionality.
