Recent literature points to emerging interest in using telepresence robots in higher education. This use is often challenged by insufficient knowledge and immature expectations that teachers have about the technical abilities of telepresence robots.

    In this study, we investigated how the technology of telepresence robotics was perceived by higher education teachers with no previous experience with these robots. We also examined how this perception changed after a workshop where the teachers experimented with the robots.

    Fifteen staff members from Tallinn Technical University and Tallinn University took part in the study. The results reveal that the first hands-on experience with telepresence robots changes remarkably the teachers’ expectations and understanding about the telepresence robots. In particular, the participants gained a better understanding of the technology, of the opportunities it provides and about its limitations.
