Abstract
Mobile robots start to appear in everyday life, e.g., in shopping malls or nursing homes. Often, they are operated by staff with no prior experience in robotics. False expectations regarding the capabilities of robots, however, may lead to disappointments and reservations when it comes to accepting robots in ones personal space. We make use of state-of-the-art Mixed Reality (MR) technology by integrating a Microsoft HoloLens into the robot»s operating space to facilitate acceptance and interaction. The MR device is used to increase situation awareness by (a) externalizing the robot»s behavior-state and sensor data and (b) projecting planned behavior. In addition to that, MR technology is (c) used as satellite sensing and display device for human-robot-communication.
