This use case provided the possibility for a robot located inside the museum to be controlled by a remote user by exploiting an underlying 5G network capable of meeting the stringent requirements necessary for effective robot control (low latency) and high-quality video stream. The use of telepresence robots in the tourism sector opens various possibilities for extending the usability of museums over time and space. In this context, the use case has been implemented in terms of a remote visit to the basements of Palazzo Madama, a “treasure hunt” at GAM and remote surveillance (including IoT sensors for temperature and humidity monitoring).
