Towards a Design Toolkit for Designing AR Interface with Head-Mounted Display for Close-Proximity Human-Robot Collaboration in Fabrication.

Industry 5.0 puts forward clear requirements for improving the interactive experience of human-machine collaboration, but few design tools currently exist to assist designers to think through how to design human-robot interactions, with a focus on turn-taking, coordination and communication of the interactive intention flow. We present a design toolkit for designers to explore, specify, analyse and document the unfolding interaction between human(s) and robot(s) through a model of interaction where the roles of leader and follower shape the forms of collaborative behaviour. We illustrate our preliminary design toolkit in action and demonstrate how it can be used to aid in exploring new augmented reality applications in robotic fabrication.
