The use of robotic models with the main functionalities of real objects
together with the implementation of innovative technologies, augmented
reality (AR) in this case, is the focus of the paper. Therefore, the concept
of a simplified robotic model (SRM) is presented. This concept is important
because it is useful for achieving the goals of engineering projects, which
is especially justified prior to the construction of the real objects. It
improves presentation, development, and education capabilities that are
unavoidable segments of the project strategy. Additionally, it is possible to
transfer developed solutions to the final objects after certain
modifications. Multidisciplinary building of the unique SRM of the 3-axis
centrifuge for pilot training is described, where multi-attribute
decisionmaking is used to conduct some experiments. The application includes
the use of a physical model, built from LEGO elements, software for
controlling and monitoring the physical model, and an AR mobile app.
