Augmented Reality-assisted robot programming systems (ARRPS) aim to make the programming of industrial robots more efficient by providing an AR-based human machine interface that allows operators to program robots intuitively and quickly. This work aims to contribute to the field by presenting an input and tracking system based on the VIVE Lighthouse technology that can act as a basis for ARRPS systems, improving maturity, costs and accessibility. To evaluate the system, ARRPS core functionality has been implemented so as to demonstrate its basic feasibility. An extensive evaluation of the system accuracy has been conducted, as this is one of the key criteria for potential adoption of the technology. The feasibility could be successfully demonstrated and it could be shown that the end-to-end mean absolute error of the robot path point placement amounts to 11 mm in a workspace of 0.6 × 0.6 × 0.25 m3 volume. Finally, the robustness and setup time of the system still need to be improved.
