Abstract


Mixed Reality is a combination of the physical and digital worlds that allows people to interact with computers and the environment in new ways. In simple terms, it enables users to construct a new environment in which both digital and real objects coexist.

MR's applications are expanding every day, from providing remote help to construction workers to serving as a tool for virtual testing for engineers. Healthcare is one of the most well-known reasons of why we need MR. In this field, surgeons can use MR to perform procedures and obtain better data visualizations without endangering human life. Another example of MR is its use as a major tool for rendering real-world physical things as 3D holograms, lowering the cost of resource acquisition and usage.

Mixed Reality can be a useful tool for robotics research and development. We refine the notion of Mixed Reality in this paper to allow for seamless interaction between physical and virtual objects in a variety of physical and virtual situations. This Research Paper explains the concept about how Mixed Reality may bridge the gap between simulation and implementation by allowing algorithms to be prototyped on a mix of actual and virtual objects, such as robots, sensors, and humans. Virtual capabilities can be added to robots, and they can interact with humans without sharing physical space.

This Research Paper creates a mixed reality-based robot teleoperation system. The system, when used in conjunction with Leap Motion and HoloLens, can provide a superior operating experience by allowing the operator to teleoperate a robot within a mixed reality scene.
