This robot will basically service as a virtual link between the technicians at the dealership and the service experts at Audi, America. The company has stated that the use of ART robot will allow them to use the expertise of servicing experts in inspecting and servicing the vehicles as if they are present right alongside the local technicians of the dealership.

According to Brian Stockton, General Manager to Technical support Audi to America, the ART robot has been designed keeping in mind the benefit of the technicians at Audi as well as the consumers. It will allow the local technicians to have access to valuable one-one-one interaction with expert counterparts in America.
