“…The use of AR is expected to avoid delays and possible mistakes during maintenance activities, thus decreasing the related costs (Benbelkacem et al, 2013). Telerobotics is the area of robotics concerned with the control of semi-autonomous robots from a distance (Sheridan, 1989;Goldberg and Siegwart, 2001).…”

The aim of this article is to analyze and review the scientific literature relating to the application of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in industry. AR technology is becoming increasingly diffuse, due to the ease of application development and the widespread use of hardware devices (mainly smartphones and tablets) able to support its adoption. Today, a growing number of applications based on AR solutions are being developed for industrial purposes. Although these applications are often little more than experimental prototypes, AR technology is proving highly flexible and is showing great potential in numerous areas (e.g., maintenance, training/learning, assembly or product design) and in industrial sectors (e.g., the automotive, aircraft or manufacturing industries). It is expected that AR systems will become even more widespread in the near future.The purpose of this review is to classify the literature on AR published from 2006 to early 2017, to identify the main areas and sectors where AR is currently deployed, describe the technological solutions adopted, as well as the main benefits achievable with this kind of technology.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…During its detection stage, ARToolKit uses a global threshold to create a binary image and an image correlation method where the payload is compared with a predefined database. Although this feature allows the user to create markers with intuitive patterns as shown in [3], it increases the computational effort when a large database is formed, since each potential marker has to be checked against the entire database.…”

“…They can also be employed to label specific structures [3], such as a docking station or areas of interest, such as sampling points. In underwater environments, fiducial markers can be also applied to robot mapping and localization [4] [5], to monitoring underwater sensors [6], to assist ROV operators in robot control [7] and as an interface for human-robot communication [8] [9].…”

This paper presents an evaluation of artificial fiducial markers in underwater environments. Due to the readily availabe code, the ARToolKit, AprilTags and ArUco marker systems are chosen for this purpose. The experiments are conducted in a tank equipped with a 3D gantry robot and a roll-tilt sensor head that allows to move the camera with millimeter precision. The markers are compared with each other at six turbidity levels in two lighting scenarios. The criteria are the smallest detectable marker size (in pixels), the maximum angle (camera-to-marker), the maximum distance and required processing time. The results show that the AprilTags library outperforms the other candidates for almost all tested criteria, but it also presents the slowest performance.978-1-4799-8736-8/15/$31.00 ©2015 IEEE

The use of renewable energy is growing significantly around the world. In front of the growing demand for electricity principally for the remote and isolated areas, photovoltaic systems, especially water pumping systems, begin to find great applications. Unfortunately, these systems have faced a number of problems even nowadays: a problem of maintenance and repair. Augmented Reality (short: AR) seems to be a powerful promising technology that can answer to the problem related to the maintenance of photovoltaic pumping systems The introduction of e-maintenance can reduce cost and provide fast and easy access to relevant information for the worker by freeing distance constraints. In this paper, a distributed emaintenance platform based on AR benefits for photovoltaic pumping system is proposed. The distributed aspect of this system will allow the remote collaboration between a remote expert and a worker. Two main aspects are studied and developed. The first aspect addresses a new collaboration strategy based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The second aspect ensures the virtual objects transfer from the remote expert in real time. Experimental results are conducted in a first time in a mini solar station to show the feasibility of the approach.
