Abstract This paper presents a study of telepresence robot environment where each of two remote sites has a telepresence robot from the other. By situating the telepresence robots in the relatively same positions of the remote users in both sites, collaborative physical environment can be realized when the users wear head-mounted displays to see the robots’ views. Such an environment has been implemented as a prototype system. Because how to achieve physical cooperative movement between a telepresence robot and a…
