title: Measuring Benefits of Telepresence robot for Individuals with Motor Impairments.
abstract: The telepresence robot is a type of technology used to socialize with people in remote places. If this technology is efficient, it could be an alternative means to attend social activities such as going to school and work for people who have difficulty to go out because of motor impairments. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of using a telepresence robot in the marketplace by individuals with motor impairments. Three participants were involved with trial use for attending university courses for a month and the initial results are shown.
