Volkswagen Teams up with OhmniLabs on Custom Robot to Provide Matchday Access for Young Soccer Fans

Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced the creation of a custom telepresence robot named CHAMP in collaboration with Silicon Valley-based robotics company OhmniLabs.

The custom robot was developed to expand the reach, visibility, and impact of U.S. Soccer’s existing player honoree program, where eleven children, sourced by Volkswagen, have an opportunity to walk out onto the field with Women’s and Men’s National Team players during the playing of the National Anthem. CHAMP will take the place of a physical player honoree, and with its telepresence technology, allow young soccer fans experiencing hardships or unique circumstances the opportunity to participate virtually, providing mobility and access to special matchday experiences.
