Telepresence Robot

Telepresence robots aim to enable remote users to interact with distant environments as if physically present, primarily focusing on improving user experience and task performance. Current research emphasizes enhancing control interfaces (e.g., foot controllers, balance boards, wearable IMUs), improving visual and haptic feedback through techniques like volumetric data fusion and shared autonomy navigation algorithms, and exploring the role of social interaction and conversational capabilities. These advancements hold significant potential for applications in healthcare, remote work, education, and hazardous environments, improving accessibility and efficiency across various sectors.
