Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a system called Shepherd that allows a user to manipulate robots such as radio controlled cars from his viewpoint. The user of Shepherd can intuitively control the robots by capturing images of robots through a camera mounted on a mobile device, and moving it. User studies of Shepherd indicated that users could manipulate the robot in an intuitive manner.
