Augmented Reality: A Tool for Teaching Students Robot Programming

RobotLAB Blog · 4 months ago · 81 views

By Carol Grace for RobotLAB.com The recent years saw an increased adoption of technology in education, from the shift to virtual learning environments to the use of robotics within classrooms. For instance, a previous post highlights how collaborative robots or cobots have limitless potential not only for improving workplace health and safety but also for transforming education, particularly in the context of teaching engineering. Through open-ended, flexible programming, cobots can help students hone their problem-solving skills and adapt to more complex robotic applications. Beyond cobots, another emerging technology that demonstrates benefits in classroom settings is augmented reality. Below, we take a look at what augmented reality is and how its applications can particularly help students better understand robot programming.
