ABSTRACT
This year's human-robot interaction (HRI) conference focuses on "robots in the loop" and how robots are capable of enhancing the experiences of human users in everyday life and work. Telepresence robots allow operators the ability to participate in remote locations through their mobility and live bidirectional audio and video feeds. Using robotic telepresence, students with chronic illnesses are attending their regular classes, physicians are conducting virtual "home visits" for recovering patients, and remote teammates are having conversations beyond the office conference room.
This panel gathers experts from academia, business, and industry to discuss their experiences in developing robotic telepresences and "ah ha" moments reported from field use. Topics include how telepresence is defined, the practical use cases and application domains, the social and practical challenges encountered by operators and people physically present with the robots, and the implications for design of telepresence robots given these considerations.

Autonomy, Embodiment, and Obedience to Robots
HRI'15 Extended Abstracts: Proceedings of the Tenth Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction Extended AbstractsWe conducted an HRI obedience experiment comparing an autonomous robotic authority to: (i) a remote-controlled robot, and (ii) robots of variant embodiments during a deterrent task. The results suggest that half of people will continue to perform a ...
Design and Simulation of Autonomous Mobile Robots Obstacle Avoidance System
LNCS on Transactions on Edutainment XIII - Volume 10092Autonomous mobile robot is a completely unknown or partially unknown, of its complex environment, which requires the ability to avoid obstacles in order to move safely and avoid the collisions while navigating. To solve this problem, it opted to propose ...
Engaging robots: easing complex human-robot teamwork using backchanneling
CSCW '13: Proceedings of the 2013 conference on Computer supported cooperative workPeople are increasingly working with robots in teams and recent research has focused on how human-robot teams function, but little attention has yet been paid to the role of social signaling behavior in human-robot teams. In a controlled experiment, we ...
