Development of Augmented Reality Based Mobile Robot Maintenance Software

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) helps to increase the perception of reality by adding digital data to the real world. Nowadays, AR is used effectively in many areas from entertainment sectors to health and education applications. In this study, a mobile application has been developed by using Augmented Reality technology for maintenance and repair of the mobile robot (evarobot). In this study, battery, motor, sensor and electronic card replacement scenarios of Evarobot and maintenance and repair steps were determined. These steps are supported with visuals in accordance with the instructions given and are intended to enable the user to carry out the maintenance process easily without the need for an expert or maintenance document. At the end of the study, the digitization of the experience and the transfer of the information without getting lost has been realized in an easy way.
