Our vision of New Working Environments

"Next Generation Collaborative Mobile Virtualised Working Environments focuses on workers interacting with their environments and collaborating with each other, having access to all the (also virtualised) resources (including also assisting robotics) required to carry out their tasks and enhancing their capabilities. Among these resources, the key is the knowledge of the co-workers to complement in dynamic groups the needed competences and skills to carry out the task in a efficient way leading to increase on productivity, and generating innovative and creative solutions."
