The $10M ANA Avatar XPRIZE aims to create an avatar system that can transport human presence to a remote location in real time. The semifinalist teams from across the globe brought their avatar systems to Semifinals Testing in Miami, Florida, where they were evaluated by the competition Judging Panel.
The avatar systems that the competing teams are developing must demonstrate the ability to execute tasks across a variety of real-world scenarios. But the creation of avatars isn’t just about building the next generation of dexterous, task-completing robots. It is also about conveying a sense of human presence for both the operator and the recipient in those interactions.
