Sometimes droids turn to the dark side as well.
It’s not every day you get invited on TV, so this was a pretty exciting experience for our team leader Janika Leoste and doctoral student Kristel Marmor. They shared insights into our ongoing research and how we’re already putting our robots to use in real-world settings. Big thanks to the show for having us – we’re always thrilled to spread the word about the amazing work happening in our team!
Yesterday, our research group had the pleasure of participating in the TalTech Master’s Info Session – an event aimed at introducing prospective students to the university’s master’s programmes, research opportunities, and academic environment. We were excited to share our ongoing work while hopefully inspiring future students to join our field.
Today, our research group had the opportunity to visit the Institute of Health Technologies, where Janika Loeste presented our findings on the use of telepresence robots. This visit was a fantastic chance to share our knowledge and discuss the potential applications of this technology in education, healthcare and beyond.
We welcome our newest team member – Temi Go, a highly advanced robot that promises to revolutionize our operations. This cutting-edge technology brings innovation, efficiency, and reliability to the next level.
Our research group recently participated in TalTech’s Open Day, where we offered visitors the opportunity to test their interest and suitability for the IT field. To introduce the three bachelor’s degree programs at the IT College, we used the TEMI robot, allowing students to complete multiple-choice tests.
