Does Robotic Telepresence Make the Classroom Accessible?
Telepresence robots are meant to provide physical access to digital remote spaces. However, they have a range of limitation that make spaces less accessible for remote participants. In this study we reveal, catalogue, and examine telepresence limitations in the context of the classroom. Based on ongoing field study results from participatory observations, surveys and interviews with 22 participants we discuss the extent to which telepresence robots make the classroom accessible and whether the telepresence robots are "disabled."
