An overview of XR technologies usage for industrial robot programming

Abstract

Industrial robot programming can be a challenging task, especially in today's age, where robots are more widespread outside the large manufacturing companies, but rather in small and medium enterprises where users are not necessarily fully qualified individuals. The Extended Reality technologies may be the ongoing answer to improved robot programming experience. Current solutions for robot programming using Extended Reality technologies are explored in this overview. In this paper, a summarized description of certain solutions is given, focusing on how are the XR technologies utilized in developing the robot programming systems. Categorization by devices and motion planners used is also given.
