“…Supplementary Interaction Methods: Further research should explore using additional interaction methods to supplement HMD-based controls, such as using eye-gaze [ 72 , 73 ], electromyography [ 74 , 75 ], or a hand-mounted exoskeleton [ 76 ]. We believe these additional interaction methods are especially needed to extend controllability of Piton, especially for positional movements and postures that are uncomfortable for users to execute using our implemented control methods (e.g., positions too close/low to the user).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted collaborative activities, travel, and physical contact, increasing the demand for real-time interactions with remote environments. However, the existing remote communication solutions provide limited interactions and do not convey a high sense of presence within a remote environment. Therefore, we propose a snake-shaped wearable telexistence robot, called Piton, that can be remotely used for a variety of collaborative applications. To the best of our knowledge, Piton is the first snake-shaped wearable telexistence robot. We explain the implementation of Piton, its control architecture, and discuss how Piton can be deployed in a variety of contexts. We implemented three control methods to control Piton: HM—using a head-mounted display (HMD), HH—using an HMD and hand-held tracker, and FM—using an HMD and a foot-mounted tracker. We conducted a user study to investigate the applicability of the proposed control methods for telexistence, focusing on body ownership (Alpha IVBO), mental and physical load (NASA-TLX), motion sickness (VRSQ), and a questionnaire to measure user impressions. The results show that both the HM and HH provide relevantly high levels of body ownership, had high perceived accuracy, and were highly favored, whereas the FM control method yielded the lowest body ownership effect and was least favored. We discuss the results and highlight the advantages and shortcomings of the control methods with respect to various potential application contexts. Based on our design and evaluation of Piton, we extracted a number of insights and future research directions to deepen our investigation and realization of wearable telexistence robots.
