The evolution of the iCub3 avatar system (VIDEO)
Caption
Over the past four years, the research team at the Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence (AMI) lab at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genova (Italy) has developed advanced avatar technologies, known as the iCub3 system, in continuous testing with real-world scenarios. The system was utilized to enable a human operator to remotely visit locations 300 km away, to entertain the public at events and television appearances, and to compete in the international challenge ANA Avatar XPrize. In a research paper published in Science Robotics today, the group highlights the challenges they faced, and the solutions implemented to develop the avatar system.
