Abstract: Advancements in robotics and communication technologies have made it possible to develop systems that allow users to have a virtual presence in a remote location. The proposed remotely smart-controlled virtual telepresence robotic system (RSV-TRS) was designed as an efficient system that is cost-effective and used for remote surveillance. The virtual presence interface enables users to navigate and interact with distant environments in real time. The prototype of the virtual telepresence robot is powered and controlled by the Raspberry Pi 3, and all the final output in the form of real-time data feeds is displayed in virtual reality. The system designed aims to enable users to interact with remote environments in real time through a robotic platform equipped with audio, video, and motion capabilities. The prototype implementation system was designed to remotely control a virtual telepresence robot, which is a fixed wheeled device placed in a remote location with a camera to enable live video streaming to a webpage. It allows the camera to move in the direction of the user's head movements. The RSV-TRS testing results improve remote collaboration effectiveness compared to baseline video conferencing and conventional telepresence robots, particularly in tasks requiring spatial awareness and physical interaction.
