Abstract
Nowadays, for families with young children, it is not easy to have enough parental time to the care of the children. In the house, parents must perform housework and childcare at the same time, which becomes a hard labor, and one of the main reasons for parental stress. In this paper, we introduce a flexible telepresence system for childcare support, which allows parents to make simple housework, and perform childcare at the same time without the participation of another person. According to the availability and the focus required for the housework, parents can use the systems in three modes, autonomous, remote controlled and interactive. In the following content, we present the design and implementation of the system and an initial evaluation.
