Hi @robotology/everyone 👋🏻

Check out the remarkable milestone that the group AMI@IIT led by @DanielePucci has recently achieved in developing an avatar system based on the iCub3 robot 🤖

Here's the article: https://opentalk.iit.it/en/from-remote-tourism-to-metaverse-the-new-robotic-avatar-is-made-in-italy.

There's also available a 📄 paper published on arXiv describing the iCub3 platform and the software underlying the implementation of the avatar system.
