Abstract

The application of tools as augmented reality has been developing innovative solutions for the industrial scenario. In this context, this work presents an industrial plant of a warehouse, where augmented reality is used to represent virtual loads to be transported by multiple small mobile robots. The results promote an application developed in ROS, with virtual and real objects sharing the same environment, producing an excellent scenario to development and experimentation to new approaches for automation in warehouses or smart factories.
