Cartesian Robot Controlling with Sense Gloves and Virtual Control Buttons: Development of a 3D Mixed Reality Application.

In this paper, we present a cartesian robot controlled by a mixed reality interface that includes virtual buttons, virtual gloves, and a drill. The mixed reality interface, into which the virtual reality input/output devices and sense gloves have been integrated, enables the control of the cartesian robot. The data transfer between the mixed reality interface and the cartesian robot is implemented via Arduino kit. The cartesian robot moves in 6 axes simultaneously with the movement of the sense gloves and the touch of the virtual buttons. This study aims to perform remote-controlled and task-oriented screwing and unscrewing of a bolt using a cartesian robot with a mixed reality interfaces.
