A mobile telepresence robot is currently being developed for use in surveillance and fire-detection applications that will be integrated into the present intelligent building system. The authors discuss the design, construction, and man-machine interface of the mobile telepresence robot. This system will allow the building operator to patrol remote areas from the safety and comfort of the building's control center. The viewing station contains a BOOM (binocular omni-orientation monitor)-mounted stereoscopic color viewer, while the robot consists of a self-powered mobile platform carrying the slave telepresence camera system and various navigational sensors. The robot patrols a predefined area and goes to a particular landmark autonomously in case of an emergency.>
