The emergence of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and robotics are enabling organizations across various sectors to innovate and enhance their workflows with new capabilities. Robotics has revolutionized manufacturing &packaging, empowering industries to achieve greater efficiency and operational safety.

The use cases of AR and VR technologies are plenty in gaming and media, as well as in employee training programs. Organizations across various sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, and private research, are seeking to integrate all three technologies.

Automation

VR can be leveraged in the development of robots equipped by multiple sensor units, wherein it replicates the movements of the user. The integration will allow the robots to be controlled remotely, especially in hazardous areas. A cyber-physical model of the robotic unit will enable users to interact with a virtual version of the robot and its environment.

Healthcare

Robotics is widely used in the healthcare sector to assist surgical processes. The incorporation of AR and VR has led to the evolutions of healthcare robots. The units leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze the data supplied by the sensors.

The VR/AR-based surgical solutions are also utilized for training students by simulating surgeries on virtual patients with various medical conditions. Also, AR-based exoskeletons can be leveraged to assist the disabled in standing, moving, and sitting. Read More
