Abstract: In recent years, Augmented reality (AR) has been increasingly studied as a medium to facilitate human-robot interactions (HRI). This paper presents DARA (Dynamic AR Architecture), a novel mobile-based AR architecture that enables simultaneous connections to multiple distinct robots. Utilizing a database to manage configurations, DARA creates connections to robots and instantiates visualizations, called augments, at run time allowing new robots to be added without requiring the application to be rebuilt.
