The Pathfinder Zybot: an Open Platform Telepresence Robot
This paper presents an Open Platform Telepresence Robot developed by authors. The main goal was to develop an Open Platform for development of telepresence or assistive robots. The system has two main parts, a PC application for the users of the robot, and the robot itself. A friendly GUI was develo...
