We are very happy that Luca, who is part of our team in Göttingen, was able to test our robot in schools. We introduced the robot for our initial classroom tests and are now addressing the remaining challenges.
Our project continues!
We would like to thank the schools for their cooperation and willingness to participate, and we are delighted that we were able to achieve concrete results.
Thank you!
PRIVATAR was at the Night of Knowledge 2025!
On June 21, 2025, the 6th Night of Knowledge took place in Göttingen. We were also there and, together with NaMeKi (Sustainable Human–AI Collaboration), hosted a booth at the Institute for Ethics and History of Medicine.
In the evening, Prof. Dr. Reinhardt and Prof. Dr. Schicktanz held an engaging panel discussion. We talked about the history and ethics of human–robot interaction over time, as well as about privacy, security, and trust in robots. We were delighted to welcome so many visitors who came to talk with us about our projects.
Thank you for being there!
Our stand will be held in collaboration with NaMeKi (Sustainable Human-AI Collaboration). We will present on the history of human-robot interaction across various media and address topics such as trust in robots, data protection, and ethics in AI and robotics.
Between 6:30 and 7:00 pm, Prof. Dr. Reinhardt and Prof. Dr. Schicktanz will hold a panel discussion. Discuss the future of robotics with our experts!
We look forward to seeing you!
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!
