Researchers from CESI LINEACT won the Best Poster Award at the international conference XR Salento 2026, held in Otranto, Italy. A recognition that highlights their work on human-robot collaboration, at the intersection of virtual reality and shared control, technologies at the heart of tomorrow’s industrial challenges.
Awarded at XR Salento 2026
The scientific paper “Toward Seamless Human-Robot Collaboration: VR-Enhanced Teleoperation with Transparent Shared Control” co-authored by Majd Karoui, Célestin Preault, Vincent Havard, and David Baudry as part of the FUSION collaborative project, received the Best Poster Award at the international conference XR Salento 2026, dedicated to advances in extended reality (XR) and artificial intelligence. Held annually in Otranto, Italy, this conference brings together researchers and experts from around the world to discuss immersive technologies and their applications.
Recognition for VR-based teleoperation
This award recognizes the team’s work, which focuses on improving human-robot collaboration through virtual reality teleoperation and transparent shared control mechanisms. This work is fully aligned with Majd Karoui’s doctoral thesis, “Study of XR Interfaces and Human-Robot Interactions Coupled with Digital Twins” conducted at CESI LINEACT. The FUSION project is part funded by Bpifrance within the frame of the France 2030 I-Démo programme in Normandy.
