The Project
Co-creative development of an experience and learning platform for robotic interaction.
EduXBot is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research ("FKZ 03WIR3118A") via the programme line WIR! - Change through Innovation in the Region programme line since January 2023. In addition, EduXBot is now an active partner and member of the TDG - Translational Region for Digital Healthcare alliance. The project is about participatory research and development with and for elderly and mobility-impaired people to support and motivate them to stay mentally and physically healthy.
By combining modern interactive media, a modular software architecture and robotics technologies, EduXBot aims to take the use of digital technologies to the next level in the care/support of people with disabilities/beginning care needs/forced isolation or restricted mobility due to various causes. EduXBot thus represents an "experience and learning platform based on a robot".
Due to the co-creative nature of the project, end users, developers from education and industry, care scientists and stakeholders are involved in every phase of the project from start to finish. This is to ensure that the project achieves its objectives in terms of user and consumer needs. For these reasons, the project includes a wide range of partners, including the Anhalt Köthen University of Applied Sciences, the AG Versorgungsforschung | Pflege im Krankenhaus (MLU) and IMSYS GmbH & Co. KG.
From Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Köthen, experts in the fields of robotics, machine learning, automation and AR/VR are already equipped with the latest innovative technologies and developers to bring the vision of the project to life!

Strategic Project Management and Employees
The BMBF promotes international cooperation in education, science, research and technology with European - and increasingly also Central and Eastern European - and non-European countries and within international organisations such as the EU, UNESCO and the Council of Europe.
The programme line "WIR! - Change through innovation in the region" provides the impetus for new regional alliances and sustainable innovation-based structural change in all structurally weak regions of Germany.
TDG stands for digitalised healthcare with a focus on nursing care and maintaining autonomy in old age.
The working group Care Research | Nursing in Hospitals is an interface for incorporating findings from care and nursing research into acute inpatient practice, particularly in the focal areas of oncology, cardiovascular diseases and geriatric medicine in Halle. This is unique in Germany for a professorship in nursing science, combining the tasks of teaching and research with patient care.
IMSYS has been one of the leading XR agencies for consulting, planning and project management of digital working environments for over 20 years. We specialise in well-coordinated media concepts, planning services, implementation and service solutions for virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality environments.
