I Am the Robot: A VR Based Wizard of Oz System for the Humanoid Robot Pepper
Paper i proceeding, 2026
This late-breaking report presents a Wizard of Oz control system that uses virtual reality equipment to operate the humanoid robot Pepper. The system enables control by mirroring the operator’s movement within the physical space, including body and head rotation, and arm movements directly onto the robot. The system was evaluated in a study setup with two participant groups: users and operators. Results showed that the system was effective in simulating natural robot behaviour, while being intuitive and engaging.
