He will focus on how XR technologies enable the safe testing of industrial robotic solutions and support the systematic study of control strategies and user interfaces for robot operation.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">The presentation will cover the evaluation of XR-based control interfaces across a range of robotic platforms, including industrial manipulators, quadruped robot dogs, and humanoid robots, with the aim of\u00a0identifying\u00a0designs that allow for the most effective, intuitive, and safe human control. In addition, the talk will explore how these approaches can be transferred from industrial settings to healthcare applications. The Industrial VR&amp;AR Lab is taking initial steps in this interdisciplinary field, bridging industrial and healthcare domains through XR-enabled human\u2013robot collaboration.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">The talk will be followed by a discussion and networking over coffee and light refreshments. The presentation will be held in English and streamed via\u00a0Teams,\u00a0however, we warmly encourage in-person participation to take part in the discussion and connect with fellow AI researchers and enthusiasts at\u00a0TalTech.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to invite all\u00a0TalTech\u00a0academic staff and AI enthusiasts to the
