Projective-AR Assistance System for shared Human-Robot Workplaces in Industrial Applications

Projective Augmented Reality (AR) systems are widely used in robotics. Main applications include information visualization to illustrate the intention of a robot or mobile platform, failure modes or teaching. A new topic in the field of projective AR for human-robot cooperation (HRC) states the visualization of safety-related information. In this industry practice paper, we present a system and method that realizes the illustration of safety zones monitored by laser-scanners. Furthermore, the system was build-up at a real industrial application with human- robot coexistence in a shared workspace.
