| This thesis details the theory and implementation of software on the augmented reality platform Microsoft HoloLens®which communicates and interacts with ABB robotic systems. Recent advancements in augmented reality technology have provided new unrealized potential for use in industrial robotic development. This project uses the exposure of ABB’s controller information by HTTP web requests and displays the information in a specially built applicationin HoloLens®. System information is displayed to the user on a virtual panel, and a virtual robot model with path targets can be displayed on the actual robot to create a new intuitive development environment. Though the project is in its infant stages and has room for many improvements, the realized concepts from this project and further avenues of development show great promise.Key Words:ABB, Industrial Robots, FlexPendant, HoloLens, Unity, Augmented Reality, IRC5, IRB-120, C#, HTTP, RAPID |
