Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Telepresence systems using robots transfers controller’s physical presence to remote environment, no matter how far they are. Shoulder mounted robot is one of the telepresence robot which is suited to collaborative activity due to sharing same body direction and same height of sight through communication. Though it has advantage in collaborative work, because the robot and wearer becomes side by side, remote controller of the robot cannot see clearly what the wearer is doing or looking at. This paper proposes the system which shows wearer’s head direction to remote robot controller. The wearer dangles necklace type webcam around his neck. The webcam captures upwards and determines head direction by processing image of chin. System shows arrow to the robot controller interface in remote and it clarifies where the wearer is looking at. The aim of the system is to solve the one-way communication on shoulder mounted robot. We’ve made a prototype of direction detect software and made the robot follow the detected direction and evaluated the accuracy. In near future, we are going to make an application and have experiment using the device.
