HUMAN-CENTRIC ROBOTICS FOR TELEPRESENCE
HUMAN-CENTRIC ROBOTICS FOR TELEPRESENCE
Embedded Files
The workshop "Human-Centric Robotics for Telepresence" aims to explore the impact of telepresence robotics, focusing on enriching user experience and societal well-being. This interdisciplinary event will emphasise the critical role of human factors in shaping robotic applications across industry, healthcare, and more. Participants will discuss how both technological and ergonomic insights can enhance the operational effectiveness, user experience, and acceptance of telepresence technologies – also pondering their ethical and societal implications. By bringing together experts from multidisciplinary fields like engineering and ergonomics, this workshop will highlight successful implementations and lessons learned in diverse sectors, providing practical insights into overcoming challenges and maximising benefits. The results of this workshop will directly feed into the results of the IEEE-RAS TC on Telerobotics, the IEA TC on Human Factors in Robotics, and the IEEE-Telepresence Roadmap which is currently being developed: such a synergy will be fertile even beyond the mentioned communities.
After 16 presentations of the invited experts, a discussion based on a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis and a second one on a quick roadmap focus group will follow with the involvement of the audience, especially considering the perspectives of postdoctoral and doctoral fellows.
