Designing telepresence systems to connect hospitalized children with their families: Introducing the IPaTRo project
Résumé
The IPaTRo project, “Interaction Paradigm for Telepresence Robotics”, aims at designing, implementing and evaluating teleoperation systems for robots deployed in hospitalized children’s homes to strengthen the link between the children and their families and reduce the sentiment of isolation. This project is based on a real-world application in the Toulouse University Hospital Center, which currently faces some shortcomings with regard to the interface and hardware. Through the project, we aim to improve these shortcomings by making use of participatory design methods with the involved stakeholders: hospitalized children, their parents and siblings, and the medical staff. In this paper we describe the project, initial research goals and the identified challenges.
