Augmented reality based teaching pendant for industrial robot

Abstract

Robots have been used in various fields such as homes, manufacturing, and business. Remote robot control has been actively studied. Most of industrial robots are still programmed using the typical teaching process, through the use of the robot teach pendant. New and more intuitive ways for robot programming and control are required, smart phone are being used for controlling and programming industrial robot. In this research work, we present an idea of augmented reality based teaching pendant on smart phone. Incorporation of augmented reality into Smartphone based teaching pendant will help user to program industrial robot more intuitively.
