Abstract

This paper proposes a novel Augmented Reality (AR)-based programming system that simplifies the complex task of programming robotic manipulators. Traditional programming methods are often timeconsuming and require specialized knowledge in robot kinematics and programming languages. The proposed system integrates AR technology with the robotic manipulator, allowing operators to visualize and program the robot’s movements in real-time, leading to a more efficient and intuitive programming experience. The developed solution is implemented on a 5-DOF robotic manipulator. For AR development, Unity3D game engine is used along with Vuforia AR framework. The proposed system is implemented and tested on two platforms for user convenience: a mobile phone device for increased accessibility and Xreal AR glasses for a more immersive experience. The AR-based system also opens doors for remote robot control, with potential applications ranging from robotassisted surgery to material handling in hazardous environments. This study aims to contribute to the development of innovative approaches for programming robotic manipulators, thereby enhancing their functionality and usability.
