Obstacles Avoidance for Intelligent Telepresence Robot Using Interval Type-2 FLC

ntelligent Telepresence robot is a new trend for communication remotely
today, and obstacles avoidance for robot is one of the important research area. This research reports and presents obstacles avoidance method for intelligent telepresence robot,
a custom-build robot system speci�cally designed for teleconference with multiple people.
We propose an interval Type-2 FLC(Fuzzy Logic Controller) that able to handle uncertainties for measuring distance of obstacle to navigate the robot. The robot is controlled
using computer networks, so the manager/supervisor at o�ce/industry can direct the
robot to the intended person to start a discussion/inspection. We build a web application
for controlling the multi-client telepresence robot and open-source video conference system. Experimental result shows the ability of robot to be controlled remotely and to avoid
obstacles smoothly and we evaluated its performance.
