Abstract

Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of a robot training system are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is an industrial robot training system comprising a mixed reality display device structured to superimpose a virtual scene on a real-world view of a real-world scene including a plurality of physical objects including an industrial robot, a video input device, and a computing device. The computing device is structured to detect physical objects using video output from the video input device, generate virtual objects using the detected physical objects, simulate a virtual robot path, determine one movement of the series of robot movements causes a collision, adjust the virtual robot path so as to avoid the collision between the two virtual objects of the plurality of virtual objects, and program the industrial robot to perform a real robot path using the adjusted virtual robot path.
