Personalised museum visits with service robots
The way museum visits are designed is constantly evolving. With the T10 museum guide, we offer a modern solution to make tours more efficient and individually adaptable. The T10 is a state-of-the-art service robot designed specifically to guide visitors through exhibitions while responding to their personal needs and interests.
With it, you experience a completely new kind of museum tour. Equipped with multimodal capabilities, it can not only lead tours and provide information on exhibits, but also respond to individual questions and even integrate visual and acoustic elements to enrich your experience.
1. Arrival at the museum
On your arrival, the T10 will give you a warm welcome and offer you various options for your tour.
Tour duration: you can choose the desired length of the tour – from a quick 30-minute tour to an in-depth 90-minute exploration.
Individual tours: the T10 lets you tailor the tour entirely to your interests. Choose your preferred topics or eras, and it will guide you specifically to the exhibits that interest you most.
2. Interactive tour
During the tour it navigates independently through the museum and leads you to the exhibits that match your chosen interests. You are also free to add or skip certain parts of the tour spontaneously.
Flexibility: would you like a brief introduction or in-depth details about a work of art? The T10 adapts the level of information to your wishes and ensures that your visit strikes exactly the right balance between education and entertainment.
In addition, there is the option to book snacks and drinks for the tour, which it carries for you and keeps ready at all times. This way you can enjoy the exhibition in a relaxed manner while the T10 looks after your refreshments.
3. Multimodal capabilities
The T10 offers an immersive experience through its multimodal capabilities. During the tour it can display visual presentations on integrated screens or play acoustic elements such as background music or special audio commentary. You can switch these functions on or off as you prefer, to make the experience even more individual.
The T10 is also ideal for larger groups coming from different countries and speaking different languages. Thanks to its multilingual abilities, it can offer several languages at the same time, so that every participant can enjoy the tour in their preferred language. Museums that already offer language tours can integrate these into the robot, so that they are available to visitors at any time.
Thanks to its speech recognition and interactive interface, you can ask the T10 for more information or adjust the tour at any time – entirely at your own pace and according to your interests.
With its ability to process complex information in real time, the T10 can respond to a variety of user needs. Whether it is visually impaired visitors who benefit from an audio-based tour, or tech-savvy visitors who want more in-depth digital content – the T10 adapts flexibly and offers a personalised museum tour.
4. Interaction and learning
The robot is not just a passive guide but an active companion that responds to your questions and expands your knowledge in an entertaining way. If you would like to shorten or extend the tour, it adjusts the schedule flexibly, so that you always retain control over your time in the museum.
The T10 turns the museum tour into an interactive learning experience. It can ask quiz questions about the exhibits to test your knowledge, or provide additional information when you want to learn more about a particular topic. Its interactive map allows you to follow your route through the museum at any time and to mark interesting exhibits for a later visit.
5. End of the tour
At the end of the tour the robot accompanies you back to the exit or to another desired point in the museum. It can give you recommendations for other attractions in the museum or help you plan your next visit. If you wish, it can also send you a summary of the tour by email, so that you can read through the information again later.
PS: I hope this blog post has whetted your appetite for a museum visit, even if your museum does not yet offer this option or want to offer it!
