Abstract

Establish thorough operator training programs before incorporating robotic manipulators into industrial environments. This analysis shows the limitations of standard operator training methods and the need for new ones. Real-life examples show how poor training affects production, safety, and equipment integrity. VR and AR technology have ushered in an interactive and immersive era of operator training. This study examines academic literature and practical implementations to determine industrial VR and AR acceptance and efficacy. This study acknowledges AR-based teaching's budgetary and technological limitations, as well as its potential benefits. Active user interaction, adaptive learning approaches, and authentic simulations are key to successful operator training programs. Additionally, the report discusses recent robotic manipulator research and advances, which can inform future developments and operator training approaches. The study compares VR and AR-based teaching approaches to show their pros and cons. This evaluation covers industrial station robotic manipulator operator training in detail. It underlines the necessity of well-designed training programs in maximizing robotic integration's benefits and establishing the groundwork for future advances in this constantly growing subject.
