Abstract

This study investigates the development of a telepresence system that based on open-source technologies to allow users to interact with distant environments. The system includes a quadruped robot with a stereoscopic camera for immersive experiences and was created in response to the increased demand for remote operations. Users reported a high level of physical comfort and a generally positive perception of the experience, reflecting an 80s versatility positions it for applications in fields like elder care and deep space exploration, providing a scalable and economical solution.
