With the rapid development of immersive technologies, a new form of industrial interaction is emerging: Telepresence 2.0. Remote control is no longer limited to screens and joysticks. Instead, mixed reality headsets such as the Meta Quest 3, Varjo XR-4, or Apple Vision Pro enable an intuitive fusion of human and machine. Operators can control robots remotely with the highest precision – and in real time. The result: greater safety, improved efficiency, and entirely new forms of human-machine integration.
The Key Technologies: Digital Twins, Haptics, and Immersion
At the core of this development are digital twins – real-time 3D models of robots and their environments. These are visualized in XR environments and allow mechanical responses to be anticipated in advance. Through haptic feedback – via gloves or suits – users can feel resistance, weight, or motion. This not only makes the control process more efficient but also significantly safer.
- Immersive 3D models in real time
- Tactile feedback during interaction
- Predictive collision avoidance
XR Control in Action: An operator precisely controls every movement of a robot – via headset and haptic interface.

The fusion of visual depth, physical feedback, and digital simulation sets a new standard for modern machine operation.
Industrial Avatars: Robots as an Extension of the Body
These machines are no longer just tools – they are industrial avatars. The human mind remains the conductor, but execution is carried out by a physical entity. Using depth perception, eye tracking, and real-time data, users can intuitively operate the robot’s body. Decisions are made contextually and with high precision.
- Full-body telepresence via XR
- Controlled gestures and gripping motions
- Deployment in safety-critical environments
Operator Station: With VR headset and control arms, robots become tangible tools in the user’s hands.

Machines thus become an extension of human capabilities – regardless of location or physical ability.
Real-World Applications: XR Robotics in Action
Whether for tunnel inspections, energy grid maintenance, or precision assembly – XR-controlled robotics is already a reality. Companies use it to access hazardous or hard-to-reach areas – while reducing error rates at the same time.
- Energy: Inspection of offshore wind turbines
- Transportation: Railway infrastructure repair
- Manufacturing: Precision work under time pressure
Modern robotic arms perform tasks in harsh environments – precisely controlled through XR technology.

This technology not only transforms daily work – it protects lives and opens up new business models.
Access & Diversity: New Roles for New Generations
What once required physical strength now relies on cognitive skill. With the right XR systems, an intern can perform complex tasks just like a seasoned engineer. Senior experts or individuals with disabilities also gain new opportunities in industrial environments.
- Barrier-free access to Industry 4.0
- Competence-based rather than physical work
- Extended careers for experienced professionals
Deployment in hard-to-reach locations: Robots take over dangerous tasks – controlled via secure XR systems.
