This project explores the potential of Augmented Robotic Telepresence (ART) to improve on trustworthiness, inclusion/accessibility and independence afforded to remote users of Mobile Robotic Telepresence (MRP).

Currently, while MRP have autonomous systems features such as collision avoidance, they do not typically allow for physical manipulation of the environment, have been found to engender limited trustworthiness, and have yet to achieve widespread adoption.

We will co-design and study ART, which draws on Augmented Reality (AR), Internet of Things (IoT), and robotic actuation with stakeholders in societally significant domains (workplaces, museums, commerce, education and healthcare).
