Bringing Augmented Reality to the World of Robotics

White Paper Overview 

It's no secret that industrial robots (especially small cobots) are in high demand. And it's great to see many businesses, both large and small, adopt this technology to improve their operations. But a highly functioning robot that never runs into a problem just isn't a reality. And without an expert programmer or integrator on hand 24/7, a glitched robot brings a lot of problems. That's where augmented reality comes into play. The SICK Augmented Reality Assistant (SARA) app turns almost any commercially available smart phone or tablet into a wireless diagnostic system and uses augmented reality technology for fast and targeted troubleshooting to minimize downtimes.
