Abstract :
We report our remote viewing system using mobile robotic avatars via Internet with a Web browser. Mobile robots serve their sensing and action as avatars for remote viewers, who are ordinary persons on the WWW. This system is a tool to obtain the human behavior in an art museum for the KANSEI special project. Through many trials of single robot/user version at the Tsukuba art museum, we discuss open problems on it. Then, we propose basic idea using multiple robotic avatars to solve these problems and extend our system
