To meet requirements to enhance workforce skills, TWI is creating distance learning and training environments that are available on demand, are accessed remotely, and connect to a wide range of robotically enabled learning scenarios.
The long-term goal of this development work is to enable personnel around the world to remotely access physical facilities using a combination of telepresence and robotic manipulators, allowing them to take advantage of expensive infrastructure for training tasks without the need to physically travel to a site.
In addition to the learning potential offered by these remotely-accessed systems, the advanced development of telepresence tools offers the expansion of remotely operated robotic inspection capabilities. This would allow for inspections to safely take place in hazardous environments or where an inspector may not be able to attend a site in person.
