Robotic Telepresence at Scale
summary
Study at CHI scales telepresence to 33 participants sharing 10 Beams across six days and ~3,700 attendees, revealing concrete breakdowns: remote users prioritize reaching sessions and pre-position robots, causing scheduling collisions and unreturned units; color personalization is ignored in favor of dock location; mismatched awareness leads to unreported collisions (10 local attendees say they were hit), growing pranks and vandalism, and frequent system-hopping. Design needs: better sensors, richer presence indicators, and smooth transitions to live streams.
