Mobile Robotic Telepresence (MRP) helps people to communicate in natural ways despite being physically located indifferent parts of the world. User interfaces of such systems are as critical as the design and functionality of the robotitself for creating conditions for natural interaction. This article presents an exploratory study analysing different robotteleoperation interfaces. The goals of this paper are to investigate the possible effect of using augmented reality asthe means to drive a robot, to identify key factors of the user interface in order to improve the user experience througha driving interface, and to minimize interface familiarization time for non-experienced users. The study involved 23participants whose robot driving attempts via different user interfaces were analysed. The results show that a userinterface with an augmented reality interface resulted in better driving experience.
