However, the wider development of them has taken place only in the last two decades. By now, the research has shown that AR can be used in various areas of human activity. In industry, AR simplifies humanmachine communication and improves human-machine interfaces (HMI) for fast and feedback-provided retrieval of training/guidance information for operation pattern study, error correction, machine maintenance, assembly assistance, etc. In spite of that, the broad practical implementation of AR in industry, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), has faced considerable problems. As a result, the following controversy emerged: the comprehensive study of AR is combined with a rather narrow practical use primarily for advertising and demonstration tasks. This chapter attempts not only to overview the current state of AR in the industry, but also demonstrate the current challenges the AR is facing, as well as to analyse their respective causes and suggest solution ideas. It is also intended to assess the prospects for further development of AR and its continued integration into the industry. For this purpose, several examples of AR projects, their development, practical use and upgrading (performed by the authors of this study as well) are presented.}, language = {en} } @misc{BilousSarachuk, author = {Bilous, Vadym and Sarachuk, Kirill}, title = {Can small and medium enterprises benefit from AR technology?

Existing paper trails show that AR has a wide range of industrial application: it simplifies human-machine communication, improves human-machine interfaces (HMI) for quick information exchange in training (including feedback to study the workflow), correction of errors, machine maintenance, assembly assistance etc. However, broader industrial acceptance of AR, prior to all by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), recently faced considerable problems and the expansion of AR solutions does not match the high potential it has demonstrated. That results in a limited practical use, mainly for demonstration and advertising purposes. This short review is to present the state of the art of the industry, challenges that SMEs face in adopting AR technologies, and several practical examples of a (commercial) adoption of AR.

Many scientific articles and studies are focused on the programming and design of MR. At the same time, integration issues, topical problems and related obstacles are almost entirely absent from the scientific literature. The authors of this paper acknowledge that the complete analysis of this area is a very challenging task. Therefore, for the purposes of this study, we focus on the local problem of analysing the introduction of MR and AIMR in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The authors offer the analysis of the current challenges and trends in the introduction of mobile robots into SMEs. They also propose solutions to these problems based on their own as well as external experience in the design, programming and implementation of mobile robots.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BergerBilousAndulkar, author = {Berger, Ulrich and Bilous, Vadym and Andulkar, Mayur}, title = {Anwendung von der Augmented Reality f{\"u}r die Mensch-Roboter Interaktion bei der Fehlerbeseitigung und bei der Maschinenbedienung}, series = {3D SENSATION - transdisziplin{\"a}re Perspektiven}, booktitle = {3D SENSATION - transdisziplin{\"a}re Perspektiven}, editor = {Bullinger, Angelika C.}, publisher = {aw\&I Wissenschaft und Praxis}, address = {Chemnitz}, isbn = {978-3-944192-07-9}, pages = {37 -- 38}, abstract = {Die in diesem Artikel beschriebene, praktische, Verwendung einer Augmented Reality Umgebung findet statt f{\"u}r die Fehlerbeseitigung und Fehlerkorrektur bei der Arbeit in einer Laboranlage, die verschiedene Fehler simuliert kann. Innerhalb der Anlage sind alle wesentlichen Komponenten mit Sensorik ausgestattet, so dass jederzeit Informationen {\"u}ber den Zustand des Systems in Echtzeit bereitliegen. Sobald sich einen Fehler innerhalb der Anlage befindet, kann das Steuerungssystem durch die vorliegenden Sensordaten dieses Problem identifizieren. Die verschiedenen Teile der Anlage sind mit Positions-Markern zur Identifizierung eines Anlagenbereiches ausger{\"u}stet. Wird die Anlage durch einen Fehler gestoppt ist, muss der Mitarbeiter die Anlage mit Hilfe des Kamerasystems eines mobilen Endger{\"a}tes (mit dem Tablet) erfassen. Die erfassten Daten aus diesem Scan werden mit Hilfe der Software verarbeitet. Durch die visuelle R{\"u}ckmeldung (z.B., auf dem Tablet) erh{\"a}lt der Anwender die Information {\"u}ber den aufgetretenen Fehler innerhalb der Anlage und zur Behebung des Zustandes. Auf Grundlager der erkannten Marker k{\"o}nnen positionsgenau Objekte eingeblendet werden die dem Anwender den Ort des Fehlers anzeigen und Hinweise zur Bedienerf{\"u}hrung zur Aufnahme des ordnungsgem{\"a}ßen Betriebs der Anlage geben. Der Anlagenf{\"u}hrer wird in die Lage versetzt, die Fehlerbeseitigung und Fehlerkorrektur schnell und erfolgreich zu realisieren. Ein Einsatz des Systems f{\"u}r Schulungsprozesse ist vorgesehen, da sich dies positiv auf die Verringerung von Stillstandszeiten auswirkt.

Especially detection in images, a historically hard task to automate is now available on every smart phone. Nonetheless, this technology has not yet spread in the industry of car production, where lots of visual tests and quality checks are still performed manually. Even though the vision capabilities convolutional neural networks can give machines are already respectable, they still need well prepared training data that is costly and time-consuming to produce. This paper describes our effort to test and improve a system to automatically synthesize training images. This existing system renders computer aided design models into scenes and out of that produces realistic images and corresponding labels. Two new models, Single Shot Detector and RetinaNet are retrained under the use of distractors and then tested against each other. The better performing RetinaNet is then tested for performance under training with a variety of datasets from different domains in order to observe the models strength and weakness under domain shifts. These domains are real photographs, rendered models and images of objects cut and pasted into different backgrounds. The results show that the model trained with a mixture of all domains performs best.}, language = {en} }
