In the R&D subproject 3 – AI.Portal, the latest wearable technologies are used and further developed and combined with methods of robotic telepresence to digitally connect humans and robots. To this end, a hardware and software platform (called Avatarstation) is being established on the one hand, and research in the area of intelligent telepresence (e.g., for teaching production steps from a distance) is being pursued on the other. Another focus is on the development of digital twins (the production environment, tools, products, etc.) for AI.Robots and the interaction with them in the virtual world using avatar stations.
