Abstract
Mobile robotic system allows multiple users to visit authentic places without physically being there. Users with variable requirements are able to take part in controlling a single controllable device simultaneously; users take part in controlling robot'"'"'s movement according to their interest. A system administrator selects and defines criteria for robot'"'"'s movement; the mobile robot with video and audio devices on it is remotely controlled by a server which selects the robot'"'"'s movement according to the users and system administrator criteria. The server provides information to users; the robot'"'"'s location influences the content of the information. Such robotic system may be used for shopping, visiting museums and other public touristic attractions over the Internet.
