In recent years, due to the influence of COVID-19 and locomotive syndrome, our opportunities to go out have decreased. Also, due to this, lack of exercise has become a social problem in Japan. We constructed a system which enables us to go out and walk from indoors by teleoperating a wheeled mobile robot as an avatar robot with safe locomotion interface called saddle type device. In addition, we evaluated the system from the point of view of usability. The results of the evaluation showed possibility of improvement of operability and mitigation of mental load by conducting operation practice in advance.
