The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) is partnering with robotics manufacturer Tharsus to support the roll-out of wearable technology that will help social distancing in the workplace.

Known as ‘Bump’, the system uses wearable and static devices operating on radio frequencies to alert wearers when they are getting too close to another person. Bump aims at improving personal distance behaviour by recording the interactions between devices. The system can also be used by employers to monitor interactions.
