This Avatar Robot Could Save Long Distance Relationships in the Future
  • 7 years ago
Long-distance couples forced to Netflix and chill alone may soon have an alternate way to be with their loved ones thanks to a new robot created by scientists at Tyumen State University. The robot, called Avatar-S, is remotely controlled by a user through sensors which transmit all sorts of data. Avatar-S users put on a special helmet that transmits sound and 3D images from the robot's camera and microphone and special gloves which send tactile sensations gathered from touch sensors.
