The visitor embodies the robot simulating a real visit to the elder person.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Telepresence refers to a combination of technologies that enables a person to be virtually present and to interact in a remote place. Most typical telepresence tools nowadays are videoconferences applications running on personal computers. Among others, Skype, for instance, permits distant users to chat and visually interact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting variant of telepresence is the so-called&nbsp;robotic telepresence. Robotic telepresence relies on the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) onto robotic platforms, providing the user with a higher degree of interaction with the remote environment. Through robotic telepresence, a distant user can embody a robot and, in this way, s\/he can exploit its motor and sensorial abilities.Recently, telepresence robots have found a significant niche of applicability in the social interaction for the elderly given the particular characteristics of this segment of the society. Elder population is a weak and increasing group of the current societies that suffers from isolation and exclusion risk, a problem that seems to become even more severe in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this perspective, robotic telepresence is a promising tool that strives for motivating social communication with relatives and friends, helping in mitigating the loneliness of the elderly population,&nbsp;and thus, contributing to improve their quality life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mapir lab is actively working on telepresence robots under European projects like\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oru.se\/excite\" target=\"_blank\">ExCITE\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.giraffplus.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Giraff Plus<\/a>. In these projects different solutions to endow telepresence robots with higher and safe levels of autonomy are studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"175\" height=\"110\" src=\"https:\/\/mapir.isa.uma.es\/mapirwebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/excite_logo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2528\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"HDL: Giraff, el robot &#039;compa\u00f1ero de piso&#039; que da autonom\u00eda a los enfermos cr\u00f3nicos\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CXiHhgd_j3g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\" src=\"https:\/\/mapir.uma.es\/mapirpubsite\/index.php\/export\/bytopic\/56\/1\/aigaion_pubs_for_joomlawrapper.css\/none\/mapir_formatted_list\/type\/none\" width=\"100%\" height=\"1500\" frameborder=\"0\"><p>The list is loaded from another server.
