Abstract

132 Canny and Agah move, do a little sensing, and interact, teach and entertain humans, to a surprising degree. Personal robots need to interact effectively with people, and they need to fit comfortably into people’s lifestyles. Personal robots have great potential for connecting people with interesting, rich and interactive remote spaces. Tele-visits to museums, galleries, or exotic places can both entertain and provide a unique educational experience. The success of the Jason project, the tele-studies of the titanic, and the daily pictures from Sojourner’s Mars visit hint at these possibilities. But controlling personal tele-robots from a remote computer can be difficult because of environment clutter, limited sensing and network delays. In “Internet Control Architecture for Internet-Based Personal Robot”, Han, Kim, Kim, and Kim (KAIST, Taejon, Korea) describe a control architecture that is resilient to network delays for tele-operation of personal robots over the Internet. They use a local model of the robot to plan collision-avoiding motions, and then update the remote robot’s goal positions. In “Insect Telepresence”, All and Nourbakhsh (Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) describe a system that allows museum visitors to explore the inside of an insect’s enclosure, and interact “face-to-face” with the insects using a tiny
