Robot-assisted telepresence is particularly at home in the fields of artificial intelligence, industry and Factory 4.0 as well as robots. The term describes a technology in which people can be present remotely at another location using a robot. These robots are often equipped with cameras, microphones and loudspeakers. This allows users to see, hear and speak in real time as if they were right there.
An illustrative example: a manager is based in Berlin and wants to visit a factory in Munich without travelling. She controls a telepresence robot via laptop or tablet and can move around the factory, talk to employees and get a picture as if she were really there.
Robot-supported telepresence saves travelling costs and time, protects the environment and enables flexible collaboration - even internationally. It is not only used in companies, but also in hospitals, schools and museums. This technology enables new ways of working and communicating over long distances, making it an important component of the digital transformation.
