Design and Implementation of a Remote-Control Robotic Audio-Visual Real-Time System

Abstract

The market value of current commercial telepresence robots exceeds €2,000 and makes them inaccessible to numerous potential users due to high prices. Commercial telepresence systems restrict both user-specific modifications and connection with present infrastructure. A telepresence solution which provides open extensibility and delivers real-time audio-visual communication and remote mobility control needs to be developed with improved affordability and sufficient interaction quality. The project fills this knowledge gap through its development of a balanced system which fulfills performance criteria and meets cost requirements.
