Since a telepresence robot is designed to facilitate interpersonal communication between a remote sender and a receiver at distance, the presence of a remote sender as perceived by a receiver is an important aspect of the interaction. In order to determine effective ways to increase the presence, we execute an experiment comparing a telepresence robot without motion cues, a telepresence robot with synchronized motion cues which provides synchronized motion with remote sender’s motion, and a robot with unsynchronized motion cues which provides independent motion and unsynchronized with remote sender’s motion (N=48). In this study, the participants engage in conversations with a remote sender through a telepresence robot. The results show that participants have a greater sense of sender presence when interacting with a telepresence robot with synchronized motion cues than when interacting with a robot with unsynchronized motion cue and a robot without motion cues. On the other hand, participants have a lesser sense of robot presence for a telepresence robot with synchronized movement compared to a robot with unsynchronized motion cues and a robot without motion cues. When interacting with a telepresence robot having either synchronized or unsynchronized motion cues, participants perceive greater sense of sender presence and robot presence than with a robot without any motion cues.
