Research on Ubiquitous Telepresence


UT Project Statement

The main idea of ubiquitous telepresence (UT) is to allow users to project their physical presence anywhere on the internet. Specifically, users are given the ability to explore and interact with many remote physical environments (e.g., all sites on the internet) through remote sensing and manipulation devices. The plan for implementing ubiquitous telepresence is to build robotic or remote-controlled units (which we have called ``ubots'') at such low cost that they become as ubiquitous as television sets.
