Tutorial on RICO-MR, an open-source framework for using augmented reality in human-robot interaction.
5th Italian Conference of Robotics and Intelligent Machines
Date: October 21 2023
Time: 11.45 — 13.45
Address: Trade Exhibition Hub of Rome, Building 10, Room 160
RICO-MR is an open-source architecture that utilizes Mixed Reality and Head-Mounted Displays to communicate robots’ intentions to human teammates. The architecture has been designed with a focus on modularity and re-usability. Researchers and companies can access both binaries and source code, allowing them to adopt the architecture as a standalone solution or integrate it into more extensive implementations. Thanks to its scalability, the proposed architecture is well-suited for developing shared Mixed Reality experiences in complex collaborative scenarios involving multiple robots and human teammates.
In this event, we will present RICO-MR and provide a comprehensive overview of its technical aspects. Additionally, we will demonstrate its potential applications in industrial scenarios, involving both static manipulators and mobile robots.
