based exoskeleton can assist a person with a disability in moving, standing, or sitting.
In the military, advanced robots are being used to detect hidden dangers and are relaying that information back to human soldiers wearing AR-powered headsets. AR is also being used by pilots for weapons targeting and spatial orientation, with data superimposed on the pilot’s visor, so they don’t have to look down at the instruments all the time.
6. Space Exploration
AR is being used in space exploration already since real-time control and communication are impossible. For example, astronauts use a headset called Sidekick to provide hands-free assistance to crews completing tasks. The headsets offer 3D diagrams and schematics, allowing the engineers to keep their hands free.
7. Criminal Justice
There are even uses for AR and robotics in the criminal justice system. When a case goes before a jury, it can be challenging to paint a true picture of a crime scene or a potential scenario. But AR-enhanced robots can help jurors explore a crime scene more accurately to improve case outcomes.
The Future of Augmented Reality in Robotics
While the convergence of AR and robotics is taking place in logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and defense, the potential for its use in just about every sector are nearly limitless. In fact, it’s likely that AR-powered robots will do more than just elevate what existing robots can do. It will also unlock innovation for new applications that no one has conceived of yet.
AR is changing the game for robotics in many positive ways. This new approach to robotics allows humans more insight and control into the robotics that is helping improve a business. It’s an ideal approach for cobots, which would enable human operators to work directly with machinery for automation purposes.
