Résumé
[EN] : Social robots have an enormous potential for educational applications and allow for cognitive
outcomes that are similar to those with human involvement. Remotely controlling a social robot to
interact with students and peers in an immersive fashion opens up new possibilities for instructors
and learners alike. Using immersive approaches can promote engagement and have beneficial effects
on remote lesson delivery and participation. However, the performance and power consumption
associated with the involved devices are often not sufficiently contemplated, despite being particularly
important in light of sustainability considerations. The contributions of this research are thus twofold.
On the one hand, we present telepresence solutions for a social robot’s location-independent operation
using (a) a virtual reality headset with controllers and (b) a mobile augmented reality application. On
the other hand, we perform a thorough analysis of their power consumption and system performance,
discussing the impact of employing the various technologies. Using the QTrobot as a platform,
direct and immersive control via different interaction modes, including motion, emotion, and voice
output, is possible. By not focusing on individual subsystems or motor chains, but the cumulative
energy consumption of an unaltered robot performing remote tasks, this research provides orientation
regarding the actual cost of deploying immersive robotic telepresence solutions.
