This creates the need to define further education and training programs. These must be tailored to the demand of increased robotics in industry. However, the availability of robots&#8217; contrasts with their complexity. Therefore, high demands are placed on the teaching, as a more intuitive and easier access to robotics must be ensured, especially in the future. Based on this, the aim of this work is to make a contribution to facilitate the use of robotics. To this end, a combined system of desktop robotics and augmented reality is to be expanded and investigated for entry into robotics. The starting point for this work was the existing system ARNO, which comprises an industrial desktop robot and an augmented reality application for axis control. ARNO was developed and implemented in a previous project at the UAS Technikum Wien. In the context of the present work, the ARNO system was extended by adding the augmented reality application with the positioning of waypoint for path planning and by equipping the robot controller with the inverse kinematics for the corresponding motion implementation. The performance of the extended overall system was evaluated by means of a pick-and-place application and validated via a test series with an associated questionnaire. From this, the benefit of the overall system for entry into robotics as well as for teaching was identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: <em>desktop robotics, augmented reality, inverse kinematics, path planning, pick-and-place<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-block=\"grid-column\" class=\"wp-block-ovl-grid-column\">\n<div data-block=\"video\" data-reference=\"35095\" class=\"wp-block-ovl-video\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-block=\"grid\" data-is-swiper=\"false\" data-columns=\"2\" data-bg-color=\"transparent\" data-vertical-alignment=\"start\" data-horizontal-alignment=\"start\" data-gap=\"s\" data-padding-top=\"2rem\" data-padding-bottom=\"2rem\" data-small-grid=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-ovl-grid\">\n<div data-block=\"grid-column\" class=\"wp-block-ovl-grid-column\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-ovl-heading\" data-accent=\"true\" data-tag=\"h4\" data-style-level=\"\">Control of an industrial 6-axis robot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A virtual reality (VR) application can be used to control an industrial 6-axis robot. The physical robot is located in the Digital Factory of the UAS Technikum Wien &#8211; the digital twin of the robot is located in the digital image of the Digital Factory. In the VR environment a machining process of the robot can be started and stopped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ovl-accordion-light ovl-accordionLight\" data-block=\"accordionlight\" data-question=\"Abstract\"><div class=\"ovl-accordionLight__answer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the planning and monitoring of processes as well as tools such as assembly lines, industrial robots and machines, have improved, leading to greater efficiency. In order to minimize downtimes, a wide range of technologies such as sensors on machines, have been used. Nowadays, the economic efficiency can also be increased by virtual representations. The advantage is that the processes, procedures and their values in the virtual world can be viewed, controlled and analyzed independently of the location. This thesis deals with digital \/ remote monitoring. This system should give the human being a better overview over a workstation or even over a whole factory. To proof that this system can work, a real Robotstation of the digital factory of the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien is simulated. The workstation and the ABB IRB-2400 robot are programmed using RobotStudio software. The robot&#8217;s axis angle values in RobotStudio and Signals of the workstation are locally transferred to the Unity software via an application programming interface. In Unity, the workstation and the IRB-2400 robot are located. The axis angle values and the signals read from the manipulator and the workstation in RobotStudio are used to adjust the axis angles of the manipulator and the positions of the tools in Unity in real time. The simulation output is provided by the Oculus Rift S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Keywords<\/strong><\/strong>:
