## Before you begin
- [ ] I read the tutorial authority and stop conditions.
- [ ] I have the required equipment/space or a declared accessible alternative.

## Canonical source context

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.

Target outcome: The learner plans a low-stakes remote visit, obtains host consent, tests camera/audio and stop controls, navigates a private marked route and recovers from one connection loss.

### Authority and setup conditions

- 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.

### Required or supplied materials

- 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.

## 1. 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.

Success check: Host and remote user can state purpose and stop signal.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “The remote user and every person in the room agree to the book-club visit, recording, camera boundaries and right to end it.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Host and remote user can state purpose and stop signal.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

## 2. 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.

Success check: Camera and wheels cannot enter the no-go zone.

Accessible alternative: Replace small or visual-only information with enlarged text, high-contrast display, spoken description or tactile/verbal cueing while preserving the same decision and success check. Provide captions, headphones, external microphones, large controls, switch access or a local facilitator while recording the support used.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

Completed: [ ]

## 3. 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.

Success check: Both host and remote user demonstrate mute and stop.

Accessible alternative: Complete “Verify software version, named account, camera indicator, mute, stop, speed limit, battery and what happens on link loss.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Both host and remote user demonstrate mute and stop.” Use a stationary tablet instead of a mobile robot when driving, vision, fatigue or room access is a barrier.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

Completed: [ ]

## 4. 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.

Success check: No unannounced movement occurs; verify it in the private telepresence visit.

Accessible alternative: A supported, seated, reduced-range or slower version of “Before moving, remote user says intended action, host confirms route clear, then movement starts at low speed.” is equivalent only when it keeps the same trained or measured target, declared configuration and success check: “No unannounced movement occurs; verify it in the private telepresence visit.” If any of those change, record it as a related alternative rather than an equivalent repetition.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

Learner notes:

________________________________________________________________________________

Completed: [ ]

## 5. 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.

Success check: The robot parks stably and communication is intelligible.

Accessible alternative: Replace spoken or audio cues with visible text, captions or haptic timing while keeping the same sequence and success check. Use a stationary tablet instead of a mobile robot when driving, vision, fatigue or room access is a barrier.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

Completed: [ ]

## 6. 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.

Success check: A consent withdrawal changes camera/audio immediately.

Accessible alternative: A supported, seated, reduced-range or slower version of “Mute or turn away when requested; do not capture screens, papers or bystanders.” is equivalent only when it keeps the same trained or measured target, declared configuration and success check: “A consent withdrawal changes camera/audio immediately.” If any of those change, record it as a related alternative rather than an equivalent repetition.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

Learner notes:

________________________________________________________________________________

Completed: [ ]

## 7. 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.

Success check: No movement continues after loss and reconnection waits for a new handshake.

Accessible alternative: Complete “The host disconnects the training link; the robot enters the declared stop state and the host uses the local control to park it.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “No movement continues after loss and reconnection waits for a new handshake.” Use a stationary tablet instead of a mobile robot when driving, vision, fatigue or room access is a barrier.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

Completed: [ ]

## 8. 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.

Success check: Continued use is chosen, not inferred from attendance.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Record connection, speech turns, route interventions, privacy incidents, fatigue and whether remote and local users want to repeat.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Continued use is chosen, not inferred from attendance.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved
