Popis: Although teleoperation applications are mainly associated with robots operating in remote, far-off sites, a large number of tasks in the industrial field requires teleoperation because of their potential danger, such as management of toxic waste, or human sourced contamination, such as in clean isolator systems. In some cases, the operator can be as close as possible to the isolated environment, to have a clear view of the task space for better situational awareness. To enhance the user awareness of the task and the environment in the absence of a direct contact, in this paper we present an augmented reality (AR) interface to provide the user with additional real-time information that can contribute to better task performances and safety. A proof-of-concept of the framework is presented for possible pharmaceutical operations, in which the user can select, through the AR interface, substances to be poured with teleoperation on a beaker placed on a scale.
