Remote users can interact with robot proxy in real-time
Researchers at Cornell University have created a robot called ReMotion that can occupy physical space for a remote user, mirroring their movements in real-time and conveying important body language that’s lost in standard virtual environments.
Mose Sakashita is a doctoral candidate in information science. She said, \”Pointing gestures and the perception of someone else’s gaze are important nonverbal cues for design activities.\”
Sakashita was the main author of the paper \”ReMotion\”: Supporting remote collaboration in open space with automatic robotic embodiment, which he presented in Hamburg at the Association for Computing Machinery CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. With ReMotion we demonstrate that we can enable dynamic, rapid interactions with the help of an automated, mobile robot.
