Introduction
• Remote Instruction
– Giving an instruction to remote locations
– To realize remote instruction, we use a communication terminal
• Communication Terminal
– Equipped with a microphone, a speaker, a camera and a display.
– Transferring voices and video images to remote locations via a
computer.
– Extended to Other Communication Channel.

ゼミの進め方
• 論文の内容を要約し発表
– 酒田が用意した論文(英語only…)
– サーベイしたものなら日本語でもOK(ただし8ページぐら
いのもの)
• 担当はメールで告知
– 5/9が第一回
– 一回あたり2人発表
• 最後に装着型の端末を使った生活支援システムを
考えてもらう
– 自分の研究できるだけ絡める
例
Prof. Sankai, Univ. of Tsukuba / CYBERDYNE Inc."
• パワードスーツを使った遠隔作業支援
– 直接装着者の体をマスタースレーブシステムで動かす
• 問題点
– 操作共振がおこるのではないか?
• 利点
– 口頭での指示でなく、物理的に直接教示(作業)可能
