This paper analyses the usability of Augmented Reality (AR) in the commissioning and programming of industrial robots. Conducting two individual studies with a total of 31 participants we analysed the three dimensions of usability: effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction by comparing our developed AR system with the conventional Teach-In programming method during the commissioning and modification of offline created robot programs. The results indicate that, while less accurate and hence effective, the AR system is more efficient and has a higher user satisfaction. Beyond that a posture analysis indicates that during a timeframe of 30 min the additional weight of the AR device does not significantly worsen the posture of a worker. Complemented by the positive result of the System Usability Score (SUS) that rates the analysed AR system with a good usability, the overall results indicate that while still limited by its achievable accuracy AR is an intuitive medium to conduct robot programming and commissioning.
