Evaluation of the Application of Smart Glasses for Decentralized Control Systems in Logistics

The approach of this paper is to investigate the application of smart glasses for human-robot interaction for scenarios like warehouse logistics, transportation systems and logistics in general. Following various research questions we conduct an experiment with multiple tests to gather information on the accuracy of localization with the Microsoft HoloLens and the feasibility of its application. The tests can also be taken into account when testing other wearables for the same purpose. An adequate accuracy enables the human worker to be integrated in decentralized control systems better and build teams of the diverse entities in human-robot interaction and cooperation.
