Student assistant in the research project RoboTeach

Process integration of collaborative robots using AR/VR and web

2023/08/02

The “RoboTeach” research project combines augmented reality, virtual reality and web technologies to enable robots to interact seamlessly between their digital and physical twin – a milestone in the programming and control of robotic systems for unparalleled productivity and efficiency

Motivation – Welcome to the exciting world of Industry 4.0! This is where advanced cyber-physical production systems are emerging, promising a revolution in productivity and cost efficiency. In this innovative environment, the robotics industry in particular is flourishing.

Currently, process integration of robots is still a challenge – it is long, tedious and expensive. With our vision and your potential, we will set a new state of the art.

In a leading-edge research project “RoboTeach”, funded by BMWK and ZIM, you will be part of a project that will shape the future of robotics programming and control.

How will we achieve this? With the current technologies of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and web. By combining these innovative approaches, we aim to overcome the previous programming hurdle and help robots reach new heights of performance with the help of seamless interaction between the digital twin and the physical twin.
