WP2: TELE ROBKO
Start Date
01/10/2022
End Date
30/06/2023
TELE ROBKO will contribute to the innovation in the VET education and training by implementing and piloting a robot-based tele-vision hardware system that will provide VET institutions with additional digital readiness and enhanced digital resilience by providing means for distance observation, interaction, and research. This high-tech approach will be piloted in our partner VET and secondary schools, universities, and cultural institutions, be it can be used in all educational levels for teaching natural science, technology, engineering.
The creation of an autonomous mobile robot (and the required software) for providing virtual presence visits of museums, as a part of the teaching curriculum or as an extracurricular activity for classes of students (pupils) and their teacher. This is a high-tech solution, which will allow the visiting class to easily remote visit (“tele – visit”) the museum exhibitions regardless of the distance separating them form the location of the museum (for example – in another city or even in other county).
Activity 1: Workshop (North Macedonia)
Help create synergies in the team.
Workshop minutes, co-creation and knowledge-sharing documents in the project repository, and team building artifacts.
18 participants (4 from the host organization and 14 from the guest organizations (2 from each partner).
Activity 2: Scope Definition (Greece)
Detailed Integrated Scope Definition
Boost the knowledge sharing, ensure common understanding and team focus.
Detailed written specifications on the stakeholders’ needs and expectations and the main WP features to address them.
Participation of at least two researchers from university partners and one from the schools and museums.
Activity 3: Implementation (Bulgaria)
Remote tele- presence robot – alpha
Contributes to achieving the main WP objectives by creating the planned tool. It contributes to the innovation in the VET education and training by implementing and piloting a robot-based tele-vision hardware system that provides VET institutions with additional digital readiness and enhanced digital resilience by providing means for distance observation, interaction, and research. It can be used in all educational levels for teaching STEM. It provides full indiscriminatory tele- presence access to events (sports, education, culture) and places, thus boosting the inclusion of large socioeconomic groups, and overcoming the barriers imposed by disabilities, health problems, and cultural differences.
Activity 3: Create an alpha version of the product as described in the details above. The use of autonomous mobile robot for tele-visits will allow the classes (the students) remote access to exhibits (through the robot camera/s), it will also allow for moving the point of view of the tele-visitors (represented by the mobile robot itself) by the movement of the mobile robot around the exhibition hall and to view specific exhibits from different points of view.
Implementation sub-activity 1: Robot mechanical, electrical and electronics design Output: Design document.
Implementation sub-activity 2: Robot control software research and development Output: Software.
Implementation sub-activity 3: Robot behavior Output: Interactive software.
Implementation sub-activity 4: Integration of the robot Output: Back-end interface functions.
Activity 4:Testing and validation (Spain)
Remote telepresence robot – final
Help boost quality
The final version of the WP product
Participation of at least 3 researchers from university partners and 3 from the schools and the museums.
Activity 5: Pilot activities (Bulgaria)
Integrated pilot version of the telepresence robot in the partner institutions
Help move the results from the lab to the real world. Make them available to the target groups and the public.
Integration of the results in the partner institution and preparing a version for public use.
Participation of at least 3 researchers from university partners and 10 from the schools and 5 from the museums
