Designing Effective AR Interfaces for Human-Robot Interaction: A Scoping Review and Practical Guidelines for Robot Pick-and-Place Tasks
PUBLICATION DATE: 11 November, 2024 PUBLICATION AUTHOR/S: A BURDEN, Y LIU, J VERMEULENAugmented Reality (AR) interfaces for industrial robotics could transform human-robot interaction (HRI), particularly in teaching robots to perform pick-and-place (P&P) tasks. This scoping review critiques recent developments in AR interfaces for robot communication and programming actions. Through thematic analysis, we identify the main drivers and applications of AR interface design in HRI, with a focus on industrial P&P activities. The study examines recent work on AR interfaces to determine how they assist users in programming industrial robots, highlighting both benefits and limitations. These include improvements in operational efficiency, task accuracy, and overall user experience (UX). The findings offer firm guidelines for future research and practice, aiding the development of industry-specific AR tools for workers with varying technical expertise. AR technologies have the potential to bridge the gap between modern robotic systems and user-friendly interfaces, increasing operational efficiency and innovation in industries.
