Abstract: A teleconferencing robot for enabling a remote conferee to project a sense of presence into a group meeting. The teleconferencing robot includes: a base; a video monitor movably mounted to the base for receiving and displaying an image of the remote conferee; an attention getting device for getting the attention of conferees in the group meeting; a control device mounted on the base for moving the video monitor and actuating the attention getting device in response to an input control signal derived from a remote signal generated by the remote conferee and sending an outgoing data signal to the remote conferee providing feedback to the remote conferee from the robot; and the video monitor and attention getting device move in response to the input control signal to enable the remote conferee to project a sense of presence into the group meeting, and to confirm the movement by the outgoing data signal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the impact that PEBBLES had on one child who directly benefited from the system and on the people with whom she interacted (classmates, parents, teachers and hospital staff).

TL;DR: A remote-control videoconferencing system developed to allow a student access to his/her regular classroom from the hospital and in providing him/her a sense of presence in the classroom, results indicate that the system can be used with relatively few errors when set to perform the majority of required activities.

TL;DR: New directions for AAC research are proposed: new interdisciplinary research could combine scientific and design research methods, as distant yet complementary as microanalysis and interaction design, and new research tools could seed accessible and engaging contextual research into voice within a social model of disability.
