contents Researchers are exploring Augmented Reality (AR) interfaces for online robot programming to streamline automation and user interaction in variable manufacturing environments. This study introduces an AR interface for online programming and data visualization that integrates the human in the randomized robot path planning, reducing the inherent randomness of the methods with human intervention. The interface uses holographic items which correspond to physical elements to interact with a redundant manipulator. Utilizing Rapidly Random Tree Star (RRT*) and Spherical Linear Interpolation (SLERP) algorithms, the interface achieves end-effector s progression through collision-free path with smooth rotation. Next, Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) achieve robot s configurations for this progression. The platform executes the RRT* algorithm in a loop, with each iteration independently exploring the shortest path through random sampling, leading to variations in the optimized paths produced. These paths are then demonstrated to AR users, who select the most appropriate path based on the environmental context and their intuition. The accuracy and effectiveness of the interface are validated through its implementation and testing with a seven Degree-OF-Freedom (DOF) manipulator, indicating its potential to advance current practices in robot programming. The validation of this paper include two implementations demonstrating the value of human-in-the-loop and context awareness in robotics.
