ITALY-SCIENCE-ICUB-ROBOT

The operator that controls the icub 3 robot remotely with the suit he wears and a VR headset, is pictured at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genoa on April 27, 2022. - The new system was tested in an online demonstration involving a human operator based in IIT, Genoa, and a new version of the humanoid robot iCub, the iCub 3, visiting the Italian Pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia, the two sites are 300km far away and the communication relied on basic optical fiber connection. Researchers demonstrated that the system transports the operator locomotion, manipulation, voice, and face expressions to the robotic avatar, while receiving visual, auditory, haptic and touch feedbacks.
