Gisela Reyes Cruz is Transitional Assistant Professor, member of the Mixed Reality Lab and Project Lead of the Telepresence Robot Playground (TERPLAY) project at the University of Nottingham. Her work investigates interaction with, trust in, and public acceptance of, autonomous and robotic systems, including telepresence and social robots.
Gisela Reyes Cruz is speaking at the Digital Exhibitions Summit 2024:
This presentation will share how a unique and engaging visitor experience using a telepresence robot tour guide was created at the Boots Counter Culture exhibition in the Djanogly Gallery, Nottingham, UK.
As robots become more prevalent in public spaces, it is important to understand the perspectives and experiences of the diverse range of people in those spaces and examine interactions with and around robots.
The panel will explain how the tour was designed and prepared, covering the lessons learned preparing and delivering the event, and highlight points to consider when developing a robot tour experience.
