Abstract

Recent advances in information and communication technologies offer wide variety methods of exchange over the network. The telepresence robot is an example of these techonol-gies. This paper presents our approach to build an intelligent telepresence robot called “REGIMTEL” by using commercialized Android tablet PC. REGIMTEL can be used as an agent to supervise and to communicate with children or elders at home. Our robot is mainly composed of a brain (Android tablet) and a body (wheeled robot). With this structure, the robot is controlled by a web application. This paper describes a general architecture of our telepresence system and the different software modules for perception and communication of REGIMTEL.
