Vega Connect
Vega Connect is a robot control interface designed for home users. The system combines a mobile application and a web portal. The mobile application lets people request household tasks with everyday language, and each request is translated into precise robotic actions with progress shown in real time. A three-dimensional digital twin displays the robot and its surroundings for remote monitoring. The web portal allows custom routines to be created for each home. The aim is to make advanced robots usable without technical training.
