“…Ng et al (2013) have addressed ergonomic issues related to an AR-based assembly process. Remote applications with the use of AR have been proposed by Adcock and Gunn (2015), Gurevich et al (2015), Mourtzis et al (2017), and Neges et al (2017). SAR and MAR are among the emerging technical solutions.…”

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

A Review on Methods and Systems for Remote Collaboration

et al. 2021

Due to the appearance of COVID-19 in 2019, person-to-person interactions were drastically reduced. The impact of these restrictions on the economic environment was significant. For example, technical assistance for commissioning or adjusting the parameters of some complex machines/installations had to be postponed. Economic operators became interested in the possibility of remote collaboration, depending on the manufactured products and the performance of the production lines that they owned. This bibliographic research was undertaken to address these needs. The purpose of this review was to analyze the current solutions, approaches, and technologies that workers and specialists can implement to obtain a reliable remote collaboration system. This survey focuses on techniques, devices, and tools that are being used in different contexts to provide remote guidance. We present communication cues and methods being employed, the implemented technological support, and the areas that benefit from remote collaboration. We hope that our effort will be useful to those who develop such systems and people who want to learn about the existence of collaborative solutions, and that it will increase awareness about the applications and the importance of the domain. We are convinced that, with the development of communication systems, the advancement of remote support systems will be a goal for many economic operators.

“…WACL (Wearable Active Camera with Laser Pointer), presented in [15] allowed a local user to attach a camera and a laser pointer to his/her shoulder to point to the required part. Similarly in [2], a local user's helmet was equipped with a camera and a projector. References [7] and [6] presented a system in which both the remote expert and the local user wore HMDs.…”

“…Most of the previous studies on asymmetric remote collaboration, however, haven't considered a general and practical coaching situation. For example, many of previously proposed systems work only when the local 'novice' user (who is being taught or collaborating with the remote user) is already aware of his/her problem before a collaboration [2]- [5]. However, the local user may not know what and where is…”

“…Moreover, the remote expert has a limited view of the local user's space. When using a wearable device for remote collaboration [2], [6], [7], a user can grasp and manipulate an object, but the device tends to restrict his/her motions and gestures. A robotbased remote collaboration system does not have the aforementioned limitations of a mobile or wearable device since a user does not need to hold or wear hardware.…”

Fully Asymmetric Remote Collaboration System

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper, we investigate the requirements for fully asymmetric remote collaboration and present a prototype system. Unlike previously studied asymmetric remote collaboration systems, fully asymmetric remote collaboration handles the cases, where a user of one side is a complete novice having difficulty in explaining his/her problems and unfamiliar with a collaboration system, and thus the remote expert of the other side must locate the local user's problem and teach the local user by having full control of the remote collaboration system. These cases can frequently occur when we collaborate with elderly people. For a fully asymmetric remote collaboration system, there are some requirements which are a little bit different from those of an asymmetric one. We itemize them in the three phases of collaboration: identifying a problem, finding a solution, and showing the solution to a local user. We also design and implement a prototype of a fully asymmetric collaboration system to meet the requirements. Our system consists of a robot with cameras and a projector for a local user and an HMD (head mounted display) with a controller for a remote expert. We also design an efficient HMD-based interaction method for fully asymmetric remote collaboration with our system. We show the efficiency of our prototype system in a fully asymmetric remote collaboration situation by user evaluation.
