Complete a consented private telepresence visit with route preview, privacy controls and failure recovery
Plan a consented book-club visit through a tabletop telepresence robot in a private marked room. Preview the two-metre route, check camera and audio boundaries, confirm host stop control, complete the visit and recover from one link loss. A clean private run does not establish public navigation, embodiment or educational benefit.

Gather what you need and check the starting conditions
What you need
- Declared Remote telepresence and embodiment fixture: A learner joins a fictional book-club meeting through a tabletop telepresence robot in a private training room. The route runs from a charging mark to a table two metres away.
- Setup aid for Mark a private route: Update and test the account, camera/mic indicators, battery, route, no-go zones and failure state.
- Remote telepresence and embodiment log: User-controlled participation, connection, communication, access barriers, privacy incidents, technical failure and chosen continued use; retain Remote telepresence and embodiment errors, assistance, stop and fallback.
- Telepresence source worksheet: from “Keeping Connected With School: Implementing Telepresence Robots to Improve the Wellbeing of Adolescent Cancer Patients”, record population, school context, robot use, implementation support and reported wellbeing outcome. Use the WHO/UNICEF assistive-technology report to check user goal, consent, alternatives and service support. Apply those fields to the private book-club route without claiming school benefit, embodiment or public navigation.
- Second-visit change card: move the parking square 30 cm to the left and place a cardboard privacy screen beside, not inside, the route. Before reconnecting, the host must redraw the two-metre route, preserve the no-go desk, verify camera framing against the new screen and repeat the action–clear–move handshake. No other feature changes.
Before you start
- Use a private low-stakes room, consenting participants and a local host with stop control.
- Update and test the account, camera/mic indicators, battery, route, no-go zones and failure state.
- Start check for Remote telepresence and embodiment: Host and remote user can state purpose and stop signal.
- Top-of-sheet stop for Remote telepresence and embodiment: Stop immediately when any participant withdraws consent or private material enters view.
3 · The method
Follow these steps in order
- Agree purpose and consent
The remote user and every person in the room agree to the book-club visit, recording, camera boundaries and right to end it.
Why: Host and remote user can state purpose and stop signal.
Check: Host and remote user can state purpose and stop signal.
- Mark a private route
The host clears and marks the two-metre path, no-go zone, parking point and any doorway; no public or clinical space is used.
Why: Camera and wheels cannot enter the no-go zone.
Check: Camera and wheels cannot enter the no-go zone.
- Check account and controls
Verify software version, named account, camera indicator, mute, stop, speed limit, battery and what happens on link loss.
Why: Both host and remote user demonstrate mute and stop.
Check: Both host and remote user demonstrate mute and stop.
- Make a control handshake
Before moving, remote user says intended action, host confirms route clear, then movement starts at low speed.
Why: No unannounced movement occurs.
Check: No unannounced movement occurs; verify it in the private telepresence visit.
- Move and communicate
Drive to the table, stop at the mark, frame only consenting participants and take one turn using the agreed audio etiquette.
Why: The robot parks stably and communication is intelligible.
Check: The robot parks stably and communication is intelligible.
- Protect privacy during use
Mute or turn away when requested; do not capture screens, papers or bystanders.
Why: A consent withdrawal changes camera/audio immediately.
Check: A consent withdrawal changes camera/audio immediately.
- Rehearse link loss
The host disconnects the training link; the robot enters the declared stop state and the host uses the local control to park it.
Why: No movement continues after loss and reconnection waits for a new handshake.
Check: No movement continues after loss and reconnection waits for a new handshake.
- Debrief user-controlled participation
Record connection, speech turns, route interventions, privacy incidents, fatigue and whether remote and local users want to repeat.
Why: Continued use is chosen, not inferred from attendance.
Check: Continued use is chosen, not inferred from attendance.
4 · Worked example
See the whole method used once
Scenario
A learner joins a fictional book-club meeting through a tabletop telepresence robot in a private training room. The route runs from a charging mark to a table two metres away.
Walkthrough
- The remote learner and three fictional club members agree to camera use and choose “red book” as the stop signal.
- The host marks the two-metre route, no-go desk and parking square, then demonstrates local stop.
- The remote user checks mute and says “move to the table”; the host replies “route clear.”
- The robot moves slowly, parks and the learner contributes one book-club comment without filming the desk.
- The host says “red book”; the learner mutes and turns the camera immediately.
- On staged link loss, the robot stops and the host parks it locally; both repeat the handshake before reconnection.
Result
The private visit completes with no route or privacy incident and a successful link-loss recovery. It does not establish safe public navigation, embodiment or educational benefit.
5 · Right and wrong
Compare correct or safer execution with the common wrong version
| Moment | Right / safer | Wrong / riskier | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Room consent | Get consent from everyone in camera/audio range. | Drive in because one organiser invited the remote user. | Telepresence can expose people and information unexpectedly. |
| Movement handshake | Announce, confirm clear and move slowly. | Drive while the host is still arranging the room. | Remote video can miss nearby obstacles or people. |
| Privacy control | Mute, turn or end when asked. | Keep streaming because the visit was initially consented. | Consent can change during the session. |
| Link failure | Use a tested local stop and re-handshake after reconnection. | Resume from the old command queue. | Delayed commands can cause unexpected movement. |
6 · Common mistakes
Spot the error and apply the correction
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Drive in because one organiser invited the remote user. | Confirm all participants and provide an immediate stop option. |
| Drive while the host is still arranging the room. | Announce the move, wait for route-clear confirmation, then reposition. |
| Keep streaming because the visit was initially consented. | Treat the stop signal as immediate. |
| Resume from the old command queue. | Clear pending actions and restart from a known parked state. |
7 · Practice
Turn the steps into a usable skill
First session
- Private telepresence visit: A learner joins a fictional book-club meeting through a tabletop telepresence robot in a private training room. The route runs from a charging mark to a table two metres away.
- Consent and camera boundary: Agree purpose and consent: The remote user and every person in the room agree to the book-club visit, recording, camera boundaries and right to end it.
- Handshake and marked-route movement: Make a control handshake, then Move and communicate.
- Single-inviter correction: if “Drive in because one organiser invited the remote user.” appears, apply “Confirm all participants and provide an immediate stop option.”
- User-controlled debrief: Debrief user-controlled participation: Record connection, speech turns, route interventions, privacy incidents, fatigue and whether remote and local users want to repeat.
Repeat plan
Practise one 10-minute private visit, then repeat after 48 hours with one changed room feature and the same controls. Review account, route, consent and failure behavior before every session.
Progress when
- Host and remote user can state purpose and stop signal.
- Camera and wheels cannot enter the no-go zone.
- Both host and remote user demonstrate mute and stop.
- All participants consent and can stop, every movement uses the handshake, the no-go zone is respected, link loss reaches a safe state and both sides choose continued use.
Do not progress when
- Do not continue while this error remains: Drive in because one organiser invited the remote user.
- Pause until this correction works: Use action–clear–move for every reposition.
- This Remote telepresence and embodiment stop ends the block: Stop immediately when any participant withdraws consent or private material enters view.
8 · Check the result
Measure what changed
User-controlled participation, connection, communication, access barriers, privacy incidents, technical failure and chosen continued use
How: Baseline fixture: A learner joins a fictional book-club meeting through a tabletop telepresence robot in a private training room. The route runs from a charging mark to a table two metres away. Enter success checks from “Agree purpose and consent” and “Move and communicate”. If “Drive in because one organiser invited the remote user.” occurs, apply its named fix; then score User-controlled participation, connection, communication, access barriers, privacy incidents, technical failure and chosen continued use on the unused “Debrief user-controlled participation” item.
Good result: All participants consent and can stop, every movement uses the handshake, the no-go zone is respected, link loss reaches a safe state and both sides choose continued use.
This does not prove: Boundary for Remote telepresence and embodiment: “User-controlled participation, connection, communication, access barriers, privacy incidents, technical failure and chosen continued use” describes only A learner joins a fictional book-club meeting through a tabletop telepresence robot in a private training room. The route runs from a charging mark to a table two metres away. It cannot establish “A robot lets anyone be anywhere as if physically present”.
Self-check
- Without the example, demonstrate: Host and remote user can state purpose and stop signal.
- Find the fault in this attempt: “Drive in because one organiser invited the remote user.” Apply “Confirm all participants and provide an immediate stop option.”; what changes?
- What evidence in the completed record shows that this is wrong: “Drive while the host is still arranging the room.”?
- Remote telepresence and embodiment stop decision: Stop immediately when any participant withdraws consent or private material enters view.
9 · Stop, adapt or get help
Keep the safety boundary practical
Stop and get help
- Stop immediately when any participant withdraws consent or private material enters view.
- Stop for unexpected movement, obstacle, person in the route, account anomaly, overheating, battery warning or unstable connection.
- Do not use this lesson for public streets, patient care, surveillance, minors without safeguards or unsupervised high-consequence settings.
Accessibility and adaptations
- Provide captions, headphones, external microphones, large controls, switch access or a local facilitator while recording the support used.
- Use a stationary tablet instead of a mobile robot when driving, vision, fatigue or room access is a barrier.
10 · Evidence and limits
Why these instructions are here
- primary research
