  • PRIVATAR Consortium Meeting in Bonn

    Today, all PRIVATAR partners gathered at the University of Bonn for the Consortium Meeting. With great enthusiasm, we shared our respective progress in the project in detail and planned the next steps.

    To kick things off, each partner provided an update on their work. The University of Göttingen is working intensively on the telepresence software and developing new privacy-friendly technologies.

    The University of Duisburg-Essen has just completed an exciting user study: 130 children of different age groups tested various interfaces and logos designed by chilli mind.

    In Uni Bonn liegt der Fokus auf der Navigation des Roboters – insbesondere darauf, dass er sich nicht in unerlaubte Bereiche bewegt (no-go zones). Das durfte der MiniBot dann auch gleich live demonstrieren.

    After that, we moved straight onto planning the next months regarding upcoming events and milestones we want to reach next.

    A big thank you to our project sponsor, who travelled all the way from Berlin to see the developments in person. And, of course, to all partners for the constructive exchange and productive discussions. We’re already looking forward to sharing more updates with you soon. Stay tuned!

  • Meeting mit Forum Wissen

    Our team from the University of Göttingen (Delphine Reinhardt, Luca Hernández Acosta, Chris Warin, Felix Widmaier, Sebastian Schillinger) met with representatives of the local museum “Forum Wissen”, where we will have a Privatar exhibition next year! 🖼️ 🤖

    We invited the Forum Wissen team to our Robotics Lab to talk about the functionalities of our robots and gather ideas on what we can present in the exhibition - so that together we can create an inspiring and exciting exhibition.

    The demonstration of our student assistants' current work on the telepresence function between the robot and a tablet, which is a central component of the project, was particularly exciting.

    A big thank you to Forum Wissen for this great collaboration! 😃

  • Privatheit Tagung in Berlin

    Luca Hernandez Acosta and Chris Warin from the University of Göttingen represented our project PRIVATAR today at the 'Privacy Platform Annual Conference 2024: Freedom in Digital Infrastructures' in Berlin.

    PRIVATAR is one of the projects supported by the Privacy Platform, and we were thrilled to present it at the annual networking event on October 16 alongside other fascinating projects from the Privacy Platform.

    On October 17 and 18, we participated in the main conference and the accompanying poster session. This gave us the opportunity to share insights into our key milestones and answer questions from the research community on privacy-related topics.

    We thank everyone who joined us at the conference in Berlin and look forward to further discussions in the future.

  • Consortium meeting of PRIVATAR

    On Monday, September 30, 2024, our team met with all partners in Duisburg to discuss the progress of the PRIVATAR project. Each participant presented their results and exchanged updates on the progress with others. 

    In addition, important decisions were made regarding the planned features so that we can soon begin testing the robots. The team decided on the "MiniBOT" robot model, which all partners will be working with. 

    We would like to thank all partners for attending the meeting.
