A walk support system for two distant persons using mobile robots
T. Munekata, Akihisa Ohya · 2004
A remote walking partner system for two distant persons is newly proposed. A pair of persons is accompanied by a mobile robot as a complement of telepresence of each person. The robots communicate measured position of the adjacent human with each other and mimic the movement of the remote human. The concept of the system and results of a preliminary experiment are detailed in this paper.
