| Abstract: | Participation through a robot avatar has been described as a utopian future. However, for people experiencing it in current social contexts it’s a whole different reality. Last May, at the CHI 2016 conference at the convention center in San Jose, California, conference chairs made an effort to increase access by offering remote attendance using a commercially available telepresence product called Beams. We describe key insights from our experience: • Participation through a robot avatar can be challenging using telepresence robots • There are limitations to how people can interact and behave through robots • With the increased use of robot avatars we identify the emergence of a new kind of human disability (Remote Robotic Disability - RRD) |
