چکیده

Telepresence robots have emerged as a new means of interaction in remote environments. However, the use of such robots is still limited due to safety and usability issues when operating in human-like environments. This work addresses these issues by enhancing the robot navigation through a collaborative control method that assists the user to negotiate obstacles. The method has been implemented in a commercial telepresence robot and a user study has been conducted in order to test the suitability of our approach.

Telepresence Robots as a Research Platform for AI

Recently, various commercial telepresence robots have become available to the broader public. Here, we present the telepresence domain as a research platform for (re)integrating AI. With MITRO: Maastricht Intelligent Telepresence RObot, we built a low-cost working prototype of a robot system specifically designed for augmented and autonomous telepresence. Telepresence robots can be deployed in ...

Mapping and Control with Telepresence Robots

We create a mapping system and a control system on a telepresence robot to further facilitate indoor social navigation. The implementation is based on a commercial telepresence robot and its custom operating system. A mapping framework based on SLAMmethods is employed to obtain real-time results. Navigation controls are implemented with inspection of the internal interfaces of the telepresence ...
