CoWoOZ — A cloud-based teleoperation platform for social robotics

Abstract

This paper presents our cloud-based teleoperation platform, called CoWoOZ — ClOud-based Wizard of OZ. It describes similar systems, such as Robot Management System (RMS), OpenWoZ, CoWoOZ's predecessor Telescope and the first version of the discussed platform. A special emphasis is given to the description of new functionalities added to the system, e.g. scenario management, custom script builder, client application, etc. The paper also contains a comparison of these systems, which can help researchers to choose the right one for their work.
