Whether for disaster relief, to provide care from a distance, or to provide critical repairs or maintenance, avatar robots are the future of connection. The $10M ANA Avatar XPRIZE was a four-year-long, global competition aimed to create a non-autonomous robotic avatar system that could transport human presence to a remote location in real time. In November 2022, 17 teams from 10 countries met in Long Beach, California to compete for first prize in the finals. It was ultimately Team NimbRo from the University of Bonn who took home the gold.

The Long Beach gathering was XPRIZE’s first public testing event since the Ansari XPRIZE in 2004.
