“…In addition to mobile apps and VR/AR technology, Estonia has also made investments in the use of big data analytics to enhance the travel experience for tourists. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), which are currently widely used in consumer products, are helping to create new types of interactions and interfaces, including those for learning (Kuts et al ., 2021). Using this technology, the nation may gather and analyse a lot of data from other sources, like social media, to learn more about the interests and behaviours of tourists.…”

PurposeThis study aims to examine and analyse data relating to cultural heritage, smart tourism and smart tourism tools for preserving cultural heritage in the Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on a qualitative review of data from National tourism board web sites, the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, and the European Heritage Label sites. The paper analyses various sources in terms of cultural heritage and smart tourism and examines different ways of applying smart tourism tools to cultural heritage.FindingsThe findings show that smart tourism, and especially the preservation of cultural heritage in the Baltic states, is not a new thing, and it is rapidly progressing by inventing new technological tools for tourists to use and as well by digitising cultural heritage. Comprehensive examination of three countries shows that there is significant potential already and that there is a way to grow further for each of the countries by applying new technological tools for preservation of a cultural heritage.Originality/valueThe paper reviews data on cultural heritage and smart tourism tools in the Baltic states where it already plays a steady and significant role. Specifically, it contributes to recognition of each of the states on a global level in terms of variety of cultural heritage that is being preserved and digitalised. The originality of the paper is determined by the assessment of the smart tools used for cultural tourism.

“…These highly dynamic operations may also frequently require quick changes and testing to determine what configuration provides the best increase of productivity between the humans and the robot. Adopting ROS in combination with DT solutions allows to optimize setup time and resources while providing easy integration for different machines [15] and safe test bench for workspace configuration. Examples can be found in the works by Bilberg et al [16] and Perez et al [17] were both monitor based simulations and immersive virtual reality (VR) environments are used to design, control, deploy and monitor collaborative production processes.…”

Standardized and universal solutions for industrial robot integration are increasingly urgent requirements for companies looking for machine interconnectivity, and flexibility in creating tailor made manufacturing systems. These solutions must be supported by modular and open-source components able to easily integrate new control methods and advanced Extended Reality (XR) interfaces. Robot Operating System (ROS) has proven to be a reliable standard for industrial robot integration. ROS compatibility software is provided by many producers and allows for the implementation of modular control units by unifying development practices along the same libraries and methods. Digital Twins (DT) of industrial equipment and processes offer a solid base to develop innovative digital tools relying on synchronization between physical and digital entities and to easily setup intuitive XR interfaces for teleoperation and programming. This work presents the integration of the OMRON TM5-9000 collaborative industrial robot into the IVAR laboratory DT system at Tallinn University of Technology. By using Unity3D game engine and developing a ROS package for the specific machine, the digital model of the collaborative robot is integrated into the existing twin. Synchronization with the real counterpart is provided by MQTT protocol while a robot user interface is developed in Unity and provides robot joints visualization and remote control.
