Mobile robotic telepresence (MRP) systems incorporate video conferencing equipment onto mobile robot devices which can be steered from remote locations. These systems, which are primarily used in the context of promoting social interaction between people, are becoming increasingly popular within certain application domains such as health care environments, independent living for the elderly, and office environments. In this paper, an overview of the various systems, application areas, and challenges found in the literature concerning mobile robotic telepresence is provided. The survey also proposes a set terminology for the field as there is currently a lack of standard terms for the different concepts related to MRP systems. Further, this paper provides an outlook on the various research directions for developing and enhancing mobile robotic telepresence systems per se, as well as evaluating the interaction in laboratory and field settings. Finally, the survey outlines a number of design implications for the future of mobile robotic telepresence systems for social interaction.

“…Meanwhile, critical care telemedicine, while still controversial, is an increasingly wellstudied modality with evidence of benefit [21], and may gain a wider mandate with new service configurations. Even currently radical options such as robotic telepresence may prove to be effective [22] and well-accepted [23].…”

“…Telepresence robots have been examined as well. For example, Mariappan et al [23] described a telemedicine robot used by surgeons to diagnose patients remotely, and Sucher et al [30] interviewed patients and their families who had interacted with a telemedicine robot in an intensive care unit and found that the use of robots in this setting was viewed favorably. Robotic companions such as Paro, a soft robotic seal, in nursing homes have also been studied.…”

“…Manufacturers have been aggressively making and selling medical robots because they are the most costly service robots; sales in 2012 have totaled "$1,495 million, accounting for 44% of the total sales value of...service robots" [1]. In the healthcare domain, there exists a good body of work understanding our interactions with service robots [22,29], therapy robots in nursing homes [20,9], and telemedicine robots [23,30].…”

As both hero and villain, robots have played prominent roles in media such as films and books. Now, robots are no longer hidden away from the public conscious in fictive worlds or real-life factories. Robots are becoming a real part of our everyday encounters in environments such as healthcare settings. In this paper, we describe a discourse analysis of 60 YouTube videos that showcase robots in healthcare activities. Our narrative weaves three discourses that construct visions of the healthcare robot: (1) the miraculous robot as the robot that enhances patient care; (2) the mundane robot as the innocuous robot that integrates into the workflow seamlessly; and (3) the preternatural robot as the robot that is miraculous but never mundane. We propose several contrary visions to this dominant narrative of healthcare robots as a framework for future fieldwork that, we argue, should investigate the institutions of robotics.
