“…Similar results were seen with Koceska et al's (2019) study which reported a success rate of 88%. Participants reported relative ease with requesting the robot to lift and carry items, with the robot identified as saving time and energy (Beer et al 2017, Bedaf et al 2018, Cavallo et al 2018, Chivarov et al 2018, Radder et al 2018, Radder et al 2019. In fact, across the studies, participants perceived the lifting/carrying function of robots was particularly useful, and aligned with their primary desired function for a robot (Körtner et al 2014, Eftring and Frennert 2016, Fischinger et al 2016, Beer et al 2017, Bajones et al 2018, Bedaf et al 2018).…”

“…Remote control is widely used in many applications. The basic concept is that the robot should replace humans where people are exposed to unfavorable conditions or performing routine day-to-day activities [8,9]. The essence of this robot management method is that the person controls the robot remotely, and the robot must possess the necessary qualities and functions to perform successfully in the intended tasks [10].…”

The tendency of continuous aging of the population and the increasing number of people with mobility difficulties leads to increased research in the field of Assistive Service Robotics. These robots can help with daily life tasks such as reminding to take medications, serving food and drinks, controlling home appliances and even monitoring health status. When talking about assisting people in their homes, it should be noted that they will, most of the time, have to communicate with the robot themselves and be able to manage it so that they can get the most out of the robot's services. This research is focused on different methods of remote control of a mobile robot equipped with robotic manipulator. The research investigates in detail methods based on control via gestures, voice commands, and web-based graphical user interface. The capabilities of these methods for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) have been explored in terms of usability. In this paper, we introduce a new version of the robot Robco 19, new leap motion sensor control of the robot and a new multi-channel control system. The paper presents methodology for performing the HRI experiments from human perception and summarizes the results in applications of the investigated remote control methods in real life scenarios.
