• Abstract: As robotics continue to enter various sectors beyond traditional industrial applications, the need for intuitive robot training and interaction systems becomes increasingly more important. This paper introduces Robotic Augmented Reality for Machine Programming (RAMPA), a system that utilizes the capabilities of state-of-the-art and commercially available AR headsets, e.g., Meta Quest 3, to facilitate the application of Programming from Demonstration (PfD) approaches on industrial robotic arms, such as Universal Robots UR10. Our approach enables in-situ data recording, visualization, and fine-tuning of skill demonstrations directly within the user's physical environment. RAMPA addresses critical challenges of PfD, such as safety concerns, programming barriers, and the inefficiency of collecting demonstrations on the actual hardware. The performance of our system is evaluated against the traditional method of kinesthetic control in teaching three different robotic manipulation tasks and analyzed with quantitative metrics, measuring task performance and completion time, trajectory smoothness, system usability, user experience, and task load using standardized surveys. Our findings indicate a substantial advancement in how robotic tasks are taught and refined, promising improvements in operational safety, efficiency, and user engagement in robotic programming.

  We organized the Robot Air Hockey Challenge at the NeurIPS 2023 conference. We focus on practical challenges in robotics, such as the sim-to-real gap, low-level control issues, safety problems, real-time requirements, and the limited availability of real-world data. Results show that solutions combining learning-based approaches with prior knowledge outperform those relying solely on data when real-world deployment is challenging.
