Telexistence is an attempt to release restrictions on human's time and space by using remote robots as their own avatar. If the motion of lower limbs of humans can be projected on the robot, the human can walk and do something in remote space. This study proposes telexistence system of lower limb for remote activity, rehabilitation and amusement. First, the developed two legged robot mechanism and a measurement system for human's lower limb movement using a Kinect sensor and Unity library is introduced. Second, a control system that sends the measured signal using wireless communication to the motor of legged robot is introduced. Finally the accuracy of the proposing telexistence system is shown.
