Assisted Human-Robot-Interaction for Industrial Assembly: Application of Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) for Collaborative Assembly Tasks

Abstract

Human-robot collaboration is increasingly applied to industrial assembly sequences due to the growing need for flexibility in manufacturing. Assistant systems are able help to support shared assembly sequences to facilitate collaboration. This contribution shows a workplace installation of a collaborative robot (Cobot) and a spatial augmented reality (SAR) assistant system applied to an assembly use-case. We demonstrate a methodology for the distribution of the assembly sequence between the worker, the Cobot, and the SAR.
