Meet Sergio Barrera, CTO at Virtualware, who shares his role and vision within the MASTER project and the European XRExtended reality (XR) refers to real-and-virtual combined environment, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). More ecosystem.
Sergio leads the technical coordination in Virtualware within MASTER. He oversees platform development on Virtualware’s Viroo platform and supports integration across multiple technologies and partners.
He explains how MASTER combines robotics, digital twinsDigital twins are virtual replicas of physical objects, systems, or processes. They are created using digital data and models to simulate and represent the characteristics, behaviour, and dynamics of their real-world counterparts in a highly accurate and detailed manner. Digital twins serve as a bridge between the physical and digital More, and virtual realityVirtual reality (VR) refers to a technology that creates a simulated environment or experience using various hardware and software components. The goal of VR is to provide users with a sense of presence and immersion in a virtual world that feels realistic and interactive. There are two main types of More to reduce complexity in industrial training. This approach allows users to test processes, layouts, and robot behaviour in virtual environments.
Sergio highlights the challenge of bridging virtual and real robots. MASTER enables interaction with systems that behave like real robots, without requiring physical access. This approach supports faster iteration and earlier training stages.
The interview also explores the XRExtended reality (XR) refers to real-and-virtual combined environment, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). More landscape in Europe. Sergio describes a strong ecosystem of innovative SMEs that rely on collaboration to remain competitive. Projects like MASTER help these companies join forces and scale impact.
Looking ahead, Sergio sees Europe’s XRExtended reality (XR) refers to real-and-virtual combined environment, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). More future focused on enterprise and industrial use. MASTER supports this vision through user-friendly interfaces and practical XRExtended reality (XR) refers to real-and-virtual combined environment, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). More solutions for advanced training.
