“…Already in 2002 [38], a MRP system was described which allowed pilots to participate in meetings in remote locations. Further developments of the system were presented in [39,40] and a large segment of the research has been performed at companies in the United States of America, for example, [3,41,42].…”

“…Due to the MRP systems being a shared resource, it was found that an identification system of who is embodying the Texai was needed. In [41] an analysis of the results from five different studies with QB and VGo performed at Google, Mountain View, California, USA, was presented. The authors grouped the results into a set of guidelines regarding different aspects of MRP systems: video, audio, user interface, physical features, autonomous navigation, and social considerations, that is provision of appropriate occupance awareness based on performance and user feedback.…”

“…It was found that while the assisted teleoperation helped people to avoid obstacles, also the time to complete an obstacle course increased. A guiding principle is to have two different video profiles: one dynamic used during movement and one for stationary use where a higher resolution might be more desired [41]. If sensor information is available, it must be correct and provided with timing.…”

“…We have outlined a number of user evaluations and studies on pilot interface design and semi-autonomous functionalities where it was found that assisted driving is preferable, for example, [87,115,120], that a map of the environment is needed, for example, [41,61,78,116], and that means are needed for lowering the burden of the pilots such as obstacle avoidance [115,116] and assisted docking [116]. However, none of them have considered how to best support a pilot user who connects to a MRP system through a smartphone or tablet device.…”

Mobile robotic telepresence (MRP) systems incorporate video conferencing equipment onto mobile robot devices which can be steered from remote locations. These systems, which are primarily used in the context of promoting social interaction between people, are becoming increasingly popular within certain application domains such as health care environments, independent living for the elderly, and office environments. In this paper, an overview of the various systems, application areas, and challenges found in the literature concerning mobile robotic telepresence is provided. The survey also proposes a set terminology for the field as there is currently a lack of standard terms for the different concepts related to MRP systems. Further, this paper provides an outlook on the various research directions for developing and enhancing mobile robotic telepresence systems per se, as well as evaluating the interaction in laboratory and field settings. Finally, the survey outlines a number of design implications for the future of mobile robotic telepresence systems for social interaction.

“…The extant research focuses primarily on the technical aspects and functions of MRP systems [9,[11][12][13][14]. We believe there is no extant research that investigates the use of MRP in the context of offshore-outsourced, intercultural teams.…”

Since telepresence robots began entering the US commercial market over a decade ago, telepresence robot‐mediated communication (RMC) has become increasingly prevalent and relevant. In this essay, I describe key technological properties of telepresence robots, summarize findings regarding communication and social interaction through such robots, and propose a framework to guide future study of telepresence robot‐mediated discourse and language use. In concluding, I reimagine how telepresence robots could be reconceptualized and redesigned, for example, by moving beyond human metaphors to incorporate “superhuman” attributes, and raise questions about the intended and unintended consequences of RMC.
