Abstract:
PURPOSE: To attain stop and view or viewing at slow speed by remote control in which collision or congestion of plural robots does not take place even when plural users uses a video telephone set terminal so as to access tele-existence robots at the same position on which a camera and a microphone are mounted.
CONSTITUTION: Plural remote control tele-existence robots 1 mounted with a camera and microphone and connected to a communication network are driven on the same track installed on a ceiling 6 on which a turnout 5 and a point 3 switching a running track leading to the turnout 5 are installed.
