`1Augmented Reality Interface For Industrial Robot Controllers

摘要

The emerging technology of Augmented Reality can be applied to create novel developer tools in industrial robotics. This paper details the development of an app to interface with ABB robot controller using Microsoft HoloLens. RAPID code from the controller is parsed and converted to mirrored objects which can be displayed in the real world, on top and around the actual robot. This enables the user to interact with the robot in an augmented reality environment. The goal is to improve the human-robot communication by interpreting robot language and converting it to an interactive and intuitive interface.
