Providing assistance at a distance using the robotic avatar Rollin Justin

How can we provide assistance or care to people with infectious diseases or in quarantine?

This video shows the ways in which our robot Rollin' Justin can be operated to act as an avatar for friends, relatives or professional carers to assist people with restricted mobility, helping them to live safely and independently.

Justin can either be teleoperated using an intuitive tablet interface, or directly via a haptic device such as the DLR's HUG, which allows the user to see what Justin sees and feel the environments with which he interacts.
