Abstract:
Complex work processes are increasingly performed as a cooperation between humans and robots. In this context, assistive technologies play an important role. The implementation of Augmented Reality as instructional tool offers new possibilities to support workplace-oriented learning processes. This paper studies the suitability and usability of different AR-based media in collaborative assembly between human and robot. For this purpose, three different media have been compared in an experimental within-subject design with regard to the usability of the respective hardware and software. The findings gained from the mixed-method approach show that traditional media are considered easier to use, but that the fundamental potential of Augmented Reality application is clearly recognized.
