Opportunities and Limitations of Mixed Reality Holograms in Industrial Robotics
This work addresses practical challenges in industrial robotics for engineers and technicians, but it is incremental as it applies existing MR methods to new scenarios.
The paper explores the application of Mixed Reality holograms in industrial robotics through two case studies: visualizing a robot arm's digital twin and facilitating robot commissioning, reporting on their usefulness and limitations.
This paper introduces two case studies combining the field of industrial robotics with Mixed Reality (MR). The goal of those case studies is to get a better understanding of how MR can be useful and what are the limitations. The first case study describes an approach to visualize the digital twin of a robot arm. The second case study aims at facilitating the commissioning of industrial robots. Furthermore, this paper reports the experiences gained by implementing those two scenarios and discusses the limitations.
